1 Samuel 20:1-3

1Then David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and he came and 1said 2to Jonathan, “What have I done? What is my guilt? And what is my sin before your father, that he is seeking my life?”

2He said to him, “Far from it, you shall not die! Behold, my father does nothing either great or small 3without informing me. So why would my father hide this thing from me? It is not so!”

3Yet David 4vowed again, 5saying, “Your father is well aware that I have found favor in your sight, and he has said, ‘Jonathan is not to know this, otherwise he will be worried.’ But indeed 6as the Lord lives and as your soul lives, there is 7just a step between me and death.”
