1 Samuel 16:11

16:11 Then Samuel said to Jesse, “Is that all of the young men?” Jesse ¹  replied, “There is still the youngest one, but he’s taking care of the flock.” Samuel said to Jesse, “Send and get him, for we cannot turn our attention to other things until he comes here.”

1 Samuel 20:5

20:5 David said to Jonathan, “Tomorrow is the new moon, and I am certainly expected to join the king for a meal. ²  You must send me away so I can hide in the field until the third evening from now.

1 Samuel 28:22

28:22 Now it’s your turn to listen to your servant! Let me set before you a bit of bread so that you can eat. When you regain your strength, you can go on your way.”

[16:11]  ¹ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Jesse) has been specified in the translation both here and in v. 12 for clarity.

[20:5]  ² tn Heb “and I must surely sit with the king to eat.” The infinitive absolute appears before the finite verb for emphasis.
