Gill's Notes on the Bible
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 על הלחם "ad [vel] juxta panem", Pagninus, Montanus.
