1 Samuel 20:26

However, Saul said nothing about it ¹  that day, for he thought, ²  “Something has happened to make him ceremonially unclean. Yes, he must be unclean.”

Saul said nothing that day, for he thought, "Something must have happened to David to make him ceremonially unclean— surely he is unclean."

Nevertheless Saul did not speak anything that day, for he thought, "It is an accident, he is not clean, surely he is not clean."

Saul didn’t say anything about it that day, for he said to himself, "Something must have made David ceremonially unclean. Yes, that must be why he’s not here."

Saul didn't mention it at the time, thinking, "Something's happened that's made him unclean. That's it--he's probably unclean for the holy meal."

But Saul said nothing that day, for his thought was, Something has taken place making him unclean; it is clear that he is not clean.

Saul did not say anything that day; for he thought, "Something has befallen him; he is not clean, surely he is not clean."

Nevertheless Saul did not say anything that day, for he thought, "Something has happened to him; he is unclean, surely he is unclean."

However, Saul said nothing about it ¹  that day, for he thought, ²  “Something has happened to make him ceremonially unclean. Yes, he must be unclean.”

¹ tn The words “about it” are not present in the Hebrew text, although they are implied.
