1 Samuel 20:1-8

1And DavidH1732 fledH1272 from NaiothH5121 in RamahH7414, and cameH935 and saidH559 before JonathanH3083, What have I done? what is mine iniquityH5771? and what is my sinH2403 before thy fatherH1, that he seeketh my lifeH5315?

2And he saidH559 unto him, FarH2486 from it; thou shalt not dieH4191: behold, my fatherH1 doeth nothing either greatH1419 or smallH6996, but that he discloseth it unto me; and whyH4069 should my fatherH1 hideH5641 this thingH1697 from me? it is not so.

3And DavidH1732 sware moreover, and saidH559, Thy fatherH1 knoweth well that I have foundH4672 favorH2580 in thine eyesH5869; and he saith, Let not JonathanH3083 knowH3045 this, lestH6435 he be grieved: but truly as Jehovah liveth, and as thy soulH5315 liveth, there is but a step between me and deathH4194.

4Then saidH559 JonathanH3083 unto DavidH1732, Whatsoever thy soulH5315 desireth, I will even do it for thee.

5And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto JonathanH3083, Behold, to-morrow is the newH2320 moonH2320, and I should not fail to sitH3427 with the kingH4428 at meat: but let me goH7971, that I may hideH5641 myself in the fieldH7704 unto the thirdH7992 day at even.

6If thy fatherH1 missH6485 me at all, then sayH559, DavidH1732 earnestly askedH7592 leave of me that he might runH7323 to Beth-lehem his cityH5892; for it is the yearly sacrificeH2077 there for all the familyH4940.

7If he sayH559 thusH3541, It is well; thy servantH5650 shall have peaceH7965: but if he be wroth, then knowH3045 that evilH7451 is determined by him.

8Therefore deal kindly with thy servantH5650; for thou hast broughtH935 thy servantH5650 into a covenantH1285 of Jehovah with thee: but if there be in me iniquityH5771, slay me thyself; for whyH4100 shouldest thou bringH935 me to thy fatherH1?
