1 Samuel 23:15-18

15Now David 1became aware that Saul had come out to seek his life while David was in the wilderness of Ziph at Horesh. 16And Jonathan, Saul’s son, arose and went to David at Horesh, and 2 3encouraged him in God. 17Thus he said to him, “4Do not be afraid, because the hand of Saul my father will not find you, and you will be king over Israel and I will be next to you; and 5Saul my father knows that also.” 18So 6the two of them made a covenant before the Lord; and David stayed at Horesh while Jonathan went to his house.
