1 Samuel 20:12-15

12Then JonathanH3083 saidH559 to DavidH1732, “The LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, is my witness! WhenH3588 I have soundedH2713 outH2713 my fatherH1 about this timeH6256 tomorrowH4279 or the thirdH7992 day, beholdH2009, if he has a goodH2895 feeling towardH413 1you, shall I not thenH227 sendH7971 word to you and 2informH1540H241 you?

13IfH3588 it pleasesH3190 my fatherH1 to do you harmH7463, 3may the LordH3068 doH6213 soH3541 to 4meH3083 and moreH3254 soH3541, if I fail to 5informH1540H241 you and sendH7971 you awayH7971, so that you may goH1980 in safetyH7965. And 6may the LordH3068 be with you as He has beenH1961 with my fatherH1.

14And ifH518 I am stillH5750 aliveH2416, will you not showH6213 me the faithfulnessH2617 of the LordH3068, so that I do not dieH4191?

15And 7you shall neverH3808H5704H5769 cutH3772 offH3772 your loyaltyH2617 to my houseH1004, not even when the LordH3068 cutsH3772 offH3772 everyH376 oneH376 of the enemiesH340 of DavidH1732 from the faceH6440 of the earthH127.”
