Komentarz do Samuela I 20:25

On the seat against the wall. At the head of the couch, next to the wall.

Yonoson rose. He stood up from his place, because it is not proper for a son to recline beside his father;²⁴Others suggest that Yonoson wanted to keep his distance from Shaul and his show of respect was only a guise. their custom was to eat while reclining on couches, and Dovid would recline between Yonoson and Shaul. Now that Dovid did not come, Yonoson did not recline until Avneir sat down beside Shaul, and afterwards, Yonoson sat beside Avneir. And if you say that he did not sit as all, Scripture states, 'And Yonoson rose from the table,'²⁵Below verse 34. implying that he had been sitting.
