1 Samuel 20:40-42

40Then JonathanH3083 gaveH5414 his equipmentH3627 toH413 the boyH5288 and saidH559, “GoH1980, take it backH935 to the cityH5892.”

41When the young manH5288 had goneH935, DavidH1732 got upH6965 from the southH5045 sideH681 of the stone,1 fellH5307 facedownH639H776, and bowedH7812 threeH7969 timesH6471. Then he and Jonathan kissedH5401 eachH376 otherH7453 and weptH1058 togetherH376—thoughH5704 DavidH1732 wept moreH1431.

42And JonathanH3083 saidH559 to DavidH1732, “GoH1980 in peaceH7965, forH834 the twoH8147 of usH587 have swornH7650 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, sayingH559, ‘May the LORDH3068 beH1961 a witness betweenH996 you and meH996, and betweenH996 your descendantsH2233 andH996 mineH2233 foreverH5704H5769.’” Then David got upH6965 and departedH1980, and JonathanH3083 went backH935 into the cityH5892.
