1 Samuel 20:1-8

1Then DavidH1732 fledH1272 from NaiothH5121 in RamahH7414, and he cameH935 and 1saidH559 2to JonathanH3083, “WhatH4100 have I doneH6213? WhatH4100 is my guiltH5771? And whatH4100 is my sinH2403 beforeH6440 your fatherH1, that he is seekingH1245 my lifeH5315?”

2He saidH559 to him, “FarH2486 from it, you shall not dieH4191! BeholdH2009, my fatherH1 doesH6213 nothingH3808H1697 either greatH1419 orH176 smallH6996 3withoutH3808 informingH1540H241 me. So whyH4069 would my fatherH1 hideH5641 thisH2088 thingH1697 from me? It is not soH2088!”

3Yet DavidH1732 4vowedH7650 againH5750, 5sayingH559, “Your fatherH1 isH3045 wellH3045 awareH3045 that I have foundH4672 favorH2580 in your sightH5869, and he has saidH559, ‘JonathanH3083 is not to knowH3045 thisH2088, otherwiseH6435 he will be worriedH6087.’ But indeedH199 6as the LordH3068 livesH2416 and as your soulH5315 livesH2416, there is 7just a stepH6587 betweenH996 me and deathH4194.”

4Then JonathanH3083 saidH559 to DavidH1732, “WhateverH4100 8you sayH559, I will doH6213 for you.”

5So DavidH1732 saidH559 to JonathanH3083, “BeholdH2009, tomorrowH4279 is 9the newH2320 moonH2320, and I am obligatedH3427 10to sitH3427 downH3427 to eatH398 with the kingH4428. But letH7971 me goH7971 11so that I may hideH5641 myself in the fieldH7704 untilH5704 the thirdH7992 eveningH6153.

6IfH518 your fatherH1 missesH6485 me atH6485 allH6485, then sayH559, ‘DavidH1732 earnestlyH7592 requestedH7592 leave of me to runH7323 to 12BethlehemH1035, his cityH5892, becauseH3588 it is 13the yearlyH3117 sacrificeH2077 thereH8033 for the wholeH3605 familyH4940.’

7IfH518 he 14saysH559, ‘That is goodH2896,’ your servantH5650 will be safeH7965; but ifH518 he isH2734 veryH2734 angryH2734, 15beH3045 awareH3045 that he has decidedH3615 on evilH7463.

8So dealH6213 kindlyH2617 with your servantH5650, for 16you have broughtH935 your servantH5650 into a covenantH1285 of the LordH3068 with you. But 17ifH518 18I am guiltyH5771 ofH5771 wrongdoingH5771, killH4191 me yourselfH859; for whyH4100 thenH2088 should you bringH935 me to your fatherH1?”
