1 Samuel 20:34

32 And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said to him, ^a“Why should he be killed? What has he done?”

33 Then Saul ^acast a spear at him to kill him, ^bby which Jonathan knew that it was determined by his father to kill David.

34 So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and ate no food the second day of the month, for he was grieved for David, because his father had treated him shamefully.

35 And so it was, in the morning, that Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little lad was with him.

36 Then he said to his lad, “Now run, find the arrows which I shoot.” As the lad ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.

Jonathan arose - in fierce anger - We should probably understand this rather of Jonathan' s grief than of his anger, the latter clause explaining the former: for he was grieved for David. He was grieved for his father - he was grieved for his friend.
