1 Samuel 23:16-18

16And Jonathan, Saul’s son, set out and went to David at Horesh, and 1 2encouraged him in God. 17He said to him, “3Do 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 4Saul my father knows that as well.” 18So 5the two of them made a covenant before the Lord; and David stayed at Horesh, while Jonathan went to his house.
