1 Samuel 6:1

1 When the ark of the LORD had been in Philistine territory seven months,

1 Samuel 20:5

5 So David said, “Look, tomorrow is the New Moon feast, and I am supposed to dine with the king; but let me go and hide in the field until the evening of the day after tomorrow.

1 Samuel 20:18

18 Then Jonathan said to David, “Tomorrow is the New Moon feast. You will be missed, because your seat will be empty.

1 Samuel 20:24

24 So David hid in the field, and when the New Moon feast came, the king sat down to eat.

1 Samuel 20:27

27 But the next day, the second day of the month, David’s place was empty again. Then Saul said to his son Jonathan, “Why hasn’t the son of Jesse come to the meal, either yesterday or today?”

1 Samuel 20:34

34 Jonathan got up from the table in fierce anger; on that second day of the feast he did not eat, because he was grieved at his father’s shameful treatment of David.

1 Samuel 27:7

7 David lived in Philistine territory a year and four months.
