"So David hid himself in the field: and when the new moon was come, the king sat him down to eat meat."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
So David hid himself in the field,.... Not directly, but at the time appointed; for he went to Bethlehem, and returned from thence before that time: and when the new
moon was come; the first clay of the month, which was a solemn festival: the king sat him down to eat meat; Saul sat down at his table to eat of the provisions that were set upon it; which it is very probable were the peace offerings for that day, which he, his family, and nobles, feasted on together; it is in the Hebrew, "he sat down at the bread" (b), which is put for all the food on the table, and the provisions of it. (b) "ad vel juxta panem", Pagninus, Montanus.
