1 Samuel20:27
27 And it came to pass on the morrow, which was the second day of the month , that Davids place was empty: and Saul said unto Jonathan his son , Wherefore cometh not the son of Jesse to meat, neither yesterday, nor to day ?
Or, on the m[illegible: 1+ letters]rrow of the new m[illegible: 1+ letters]en, being the second day: Either, 1. of the Three days appointed, v. 5, 19. Or, 2. of the Feast. Or 3. of the Month.
Who was Davids friend, and best knew his mind, and his ways.
So he calls him in Scorn and Contempt, to note the meanness of his Original; and as not deigning to call him by his proper Name: See below, Chap. 22. 9. and 25. 10.
For the Uncleanness which came by some chance, usually lasted but for one day. See Levit. 11.
