1 Samuel 20:12-17

12And JonathanH3083 saidH559 to DavidH1732, Jehovah, 1GodH430 of IsraelH3478, when I sound my fatherH1 about this timeH6256 to-morrow, [or] the next day, and behold, there be goodH2896 toward DavidH1732, and I thenH227 sendH7971 not to thee, and apprise thee of it,

13Jehovah do so and much more to JonathanH3083. Should it please my fatherH1 [to do] thee evilH7451, then I will apprise thee of it, and sendH7971 thee awayH7971, that thou mayest goH1980 in peaceH7965; and Jehovah beH1961 with thee, as he has beenH1961 with my fatherH1.

14And thou shalt not only while yetH5750 I live shew me the kindness of Jehovah, that I dieH4191 not,

15but thou shalt not cutH3772 off thy kindness from my houseH1004 for everH5769, no, not when Jehovah cutsH3772 off the enemiesH341 of DavidH1732, every oneH376 from the faceH6440 of the earthH127.

16And JonathanH3083 madeH3772 [a covenant] with the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, [saying,] Let Jehovah even requireH1245 [it] at the handH3027 of David's enemiesH341!

17And JonathanH3083 caused DavidH1732 to swearH7650 again, by the loveH157 he had for him, for he lovedH157 him as he lovedH157 his ownH5315 soulH5315.
