1 Samuel 20:13-17
13If it please my father to do you harm, 1may the Lord do so to Jonathan and more also, if I do not 2make it known to you and send you away, that you may go in safety. And 3may the Lord be with you as He has been with my father. 14If I am still alive, will you not show me the lovingkindness of the Lord, that I may not die? 154You shall not cut off your lovingkindness from my house forever, not even when the Lord cuts off every one of the enemies of David from the face of the earth.” 16So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, “5May the Lord require it at the hands of David’s enemies.” 17Jonathan made David vow again because of his love for him, because 6he loved him as he loved his own life.
