וַיִּֽחַר־אַף שָׁאוּל בִּיהוֹנָתָן וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ בֶּֽן־נַעֲוַת הַמַּרְדּוּת הֲלוֹא יָדַעְתִּי כִּֽי־בֹחֵר אַתָּה לְבֶן־יִשַׁי לְבׇשְׁתְּךָ וּלְבֹשֶׁת עֶרְוַת אִמֶּֽךָ׃
Shaul's anger raged against Yonoson, and he said to him, "[You] son of a straying woman deserving of punishment! Do I not know that you choose Yishay's son, to your own disgrace and to the disgrace of your mother's unchastity?

Rashi
המרדות. שהיא ראויה לרדות ולייסר דבר אחר: כשחטפו בני בנימן מבנות שילה שיצאו לחול בכרמים, היה שאול ביישן ולא רצה לחטוף, עד שבאתה היא עצמה והעיזה פניה ורדפה אחריו:
Deserving of punishment. Who deserves to be chastised and disciplined. Another explanation is that when the men of Binyomin grabbed the girls of Shiloh, who came out to dance in the vineyards,30See Shoftim 21:20-21. Shaul was bashful, and did not want to grab, until she herself came, behaving insolently, and pursued him.
נעות. על שם הכרמים, והיא גת, כמו (עבודה זרה עד ב): נעוה ארתחו. יטופון נעווהי בחמר (תרגום פרשת ויחי פסוק חכלילי עינים (בראשית מט יב)), ולא מן השם:
Straying. Because of the vineyards. And that is the winepress, as in 'purge the winepress'31Maseches Avodah Zorah 74b. [and] 'His winepresses will drip with wine,'32Bereishis 49:12 Targum Unkelus. in the Targum's translation of 'His eyes are red [from wine].'
כִּי כׇל־הַיָּמִים אֲשֶׁר בֶּן־יִשַׁי חַי עַל־הָאֲדָמָה לֹא תִכּוֹן אַתָּה וּמַלְכוּתֶךָ וְעַתָּה שְׁלַח וְקַח אֹתוֹ אֵלַי כִּי בֶן־מָוֶת הֽוּא׃ {ס}
For as long as Yishay's son is alive on the earth, you and your kingdom will not be established. Now send and bring him to me, for he deserves to die!"
For as long as Yishay's son is alive on the earth, you and your kingdom will not be established. Now send and bring him to me, for he deserves to die!"
נעות המרדות. לשון נע, אשה נעה ונדה, יוצאנית, כאשר תאמר 'זעוה' מן 'זע', כן תאמר 'נעוה' מן 'נע', והתי"ו מן הדיבוק, שהוא דבוק למרדות:
A straying woman, deserving of punishment.נָע is an expression of straying and wandering, a gadding woman. Just as you have זַעֲוָה from זָע, similarly you have נַעֲוָה from נָע, and the 'ת' is for construct state, for it is connected to הַמַּרְדּוּת.
