1 Samuel 20:12-15
12Then JonathanH3083 saidH559 to DavidH1732, “The LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, be witness! WhenH3588 I have soundedH2713 out my fatherH1 about this timeH6256 tomorrowH4279, or the thirdH7992 day, beholdH2009, if there is goodH2895 feeling towardH413 DavidH1732, shall I not thenH227 sendH7971 to you and 1makeH1540 it knownH1540H241 to you?
13IfH3588 it pleaseH3190 my fatherH1 to do you harmH7463, 2may the LordH3068 doH6213 soH3541 to JonathanH3083 and moreH3254 alsoH3254, if I do not 3makeH1540 it knownH1540H241 to you and sendH7971 you awayH7971, that you may goH1980 in safetyH7965. And 4may the LordH3068 be with you as He has beenH1961 with my fatherH1.
14IfH518 I am stillH5750 aliveH2416, will you not showH6213 me the lovingkindnessH2617 of the LordH3068, that I may not dieH4191?
155You shall not cutH3772 offH3772 your lovingkindnessH2617 from my houseH1004 foreverH5704H5769, not even when the LordH3068 cutsH3772 offH3772 everyH376 oneH376 of the enemiesH340 of DavidH1732 from the faceH6440 of the earthH127.”
