1 Samuel 20:5-18

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?

10Then saidH559 DavidH1732 to JonathanH3083, Who shall tellH5046 me? or what if thy fatherH1 answerH6030 thee roughly?

11And JonathanH3083 saidH559 to DavidH1732, ComeH3318 and let us goH3318 out into the fieldH7704. And they wentH3318 out both of them into the fieldH7704.

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.

18And JonathanH3083 saidH559 to him, To-morrow is the newH2320 moonH2320; and thou wilt be missedH6485, for thy seatH4186 will be empty;
