1 Samuel 20:8-17

8Therefore dealH6213 kindlyH2617 with your servantH5650, for 1you have broughtH935 your servantH5650 into a covenantH1285 of the LordH3068 with you. But 2ifH518 thereH3426 is iniquityH5771 in me, putH4191 me to deathH4191 yourselfH859; for whyH4100 thenH2088 should you bringH935 me to your fatherH1?” 9JonathanH3083 saidH559, “FarH2486 be it from you! For ifH518 I should indeedH3045 learnH3045 that evilH7463 has been decidedH3615 by my fatherH1 to comeH935 upon you, then would I not tellH5046 you about it?” 10Then DavidH1732 saidH559 to JonathanH3083, “WhoH4310 will tellH5046 me 3ifH176H4100 your fatherH1 answersH6030 you harshlyH7186?” 11JonathanH3083 saidH559 to DavidH1732, “ComeH1980, and let us goH3318 out into the fieldH7704.” So bothH8147 of them wentH3318 out to the fieldH7704.

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 4makeH1540 it knownH1540H241 to you? 13IfH3588 it pleaseH3190 my fatherH1 to do you harmH7463, 5may the LordH3068 doH6213 soH3541 to JonathanH3083 and moreH3254 alsoH3254, if I do not 6makeH1540 it knownH1540H241 to you and sendH7971 you awayH7971, that you may goH1980 in safetyH7965. And 7may 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? 158You 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.” 16So JonathanH3083 madeH3772 a covenant with the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, saying, “9May the LordH3068 requireH1245 it at the handsH3027 of David’sH1732 enemiesH340.” 17JonathanH3083 made DavidH1732 vowH7650 againH3254 because of his loveH160 for him, becauseH3588 10he lovedH157 him as he lovedH157 his own lifeH5315.
