1. Of the three days appointed, 1 Samuel 20:5,19. Or,
2. Of the feast. Or,
3. Of the month. Saul said unto Jonathan, who was David's friend, and best knew his mind and his ways. He calls him the son of Jesse, in scorn and contempt, to note the meanness of his original; and as not deigning to call him by his proper name: see below, 1 Samuel 22:9, 1 Samuel 25:10. Neither yesterday, nor to-day; for the uncleanness which came by some chance usually lasted but for one day. See Le 11.
