1 Samuel 20:4-9

4And JonathanH3083 saidH559 to DavidH1732, What thy soulH5315 may sayH559, I will even do it for thee.

5And DavidH1732 saidH559 to JonathanH3083, Behold, to-morrow is 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 until the thirdH7992 eveningH6153.

6If thy fatherH1 should actually missH6485 me, then sayH559, DavidH1732 earnestly askedH7592 leave of me that he might runH7323 to Bethlehem his cityH5892; for there is a yearly sacrificeH2077 there for all the familyH4940.

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

8Deal kindly then 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 knewH3045 with certainty that evilH7451 were determined by my fatherH1 to comeH935 upon thee, would I not tellH5046 it thee?
