TSNTyndale Study Notes:

20:26-27 A number of circumstances could render a person ceremonially unclean and thus unfit for attending a sacred festival (see Lev 7:20-21). Often, an unclean person was required to be excluded from such functions only until the evening of the same day (Lev 15). This explains why Saul became suspicious after David did not arrive the next day.
• Saul referred to David as the son of Jesse (also in 1 Sam 20:31; 22:7), a description that functioned as David’s surname.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

(Occurrence 0) He is not clean; surely he is not clean

(Some words not found in UHB: and=not say Shāʼūl anything in_the=day (the)=that that/for/because/then/when he/it_had_said happened he/it not clean he/it that/for/because/then/when not clean )

According to the law of Moses, a person who is ceremonially unclean is not to participate in the feast until the priest declares that he is clean. Saul repeats this phrase as if he is trying to convince himself.
