1 Samuel 20:4-9

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?

9And JonathanH3083 saidH559, FarH2486 be it from thee; for if I should at all knowH3045 that evilH7451 were determined by my fatherH1 to comeH935 upon thee, then would not I tellH5046 it thee?
