Jonathan, “Why hasn’t the son of
Jesse come to the meal either
yesterday or
today?”

But it came to pass in the morning, when the wine was gone out of Nabal, and his wife had told him these things, that his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.
In the morning when Nabal was
sober, his wife told him about these events, and his heart failed within him and he became like a stone.

passed over with the six hundred men that were with him unto Achish, the son of Maoch, king of
Gath.
So David set out with his six hundred men and went to Achish son of Maoch, the king of
Gath.
