1 Samuel 20:12-13

12Then Jonathan said to David, “The Lord, the God of Israel, is my witness! When I have sounded out my father about this time tomorrow or the third day, behold, if he has a good feeling toward 1you, shall I not then send word to you and 2inform you?

13If it pleases my father to do you harm, 3may the Lord do so to 4me and more so, if I fail to 5inform you and send you away, so that you may go in safety. And 6may the Lord be with you as He has been with my father.
