“So David hid in the field, and when the New Moon feast came, the king sat down to eat. He sat in his customary place by the wall, opposite Jonathan, and Abner sat next to Saul, but David’s place was empty. Saul said nothing that day, for he thought, “Something must have happened to David to make him ceremonially unclean—surely he is unclean.””
1 Samuel 20:24-26 NIV
David did not join Saul in the new moon fellowship (probably dinner) for he has been fleeing from Saul saying 'what did he do, what is his guilt that Saul is seeking His life. When Saul did not find him in his seat on this fellowship, he thought he must have been unclean.
