1 Samuel 20:12-15
12and JonathanH3083 saidH559, “By the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478H3588, I will sound outH2713 my fatherH1 by this timeH6256 tomorrowH4279 or the next dayH7992. IfH2009 he is favorableH2896 towardH413 you, will I notH3808H227 sendH7971 for youH413 and tellH1540 youH241? 13But ifH3588 my fatherH1 intendsH3190 toH413 bring evilH7451 on youH5921, then may the LORDH3068 punishH3541H6213 meH3083, and ever soH3541 severelyH3254, if I do not tellH1540 youH241 and send you on your wayH7971H1980 in safetyH7965. May the LORDH3068 beH1961 with youH5973, just asH834 He has beenH1961 withH5973 my fatherH1. 14AndH3808 as long asH518H5750 I liveH2416H3808, treatH6213 meH5978 with the LORD’sH3068 loving devotionH2617,1 that I may notH3808 dieH4191, 15and do notH3808 everH5704H5769 cut offH3772 your loving devotionH2617 fromH5973 my householdH1004—notH3808 even when the LORDH3068 cuts offH3772 every oneH376 of David’sH1732 enemiesH341 fromH5921 the faceH6440 of the earthH127.”
