1 Samuel 23:14-18
14David stayed in the wilderness in the strongholds, and remained in the hill country in the wilderness of 1Ziph. And Saul searched for him every day, but 2God did not hand him over to him.
15Now David saw that Saul had come out to seek his life while David was in the wilderness of Ziph, at Horesh. 16And Jonathan, Saul’s son, set out and went to David at Horesh, and 34encouraged him in God. 17He said to him, “5Do 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 second in command to you; and 6Saul my father knows that as well.” 18So 7the two of them made a covenant before the Lord; and David stayed at Horesh, while Jonathan went to his house.
