1 Samuel 20:2-3

2He saidH559 to him, “FarH2486 from it, you shall not dieH4191! BeholdH2009, my fatherH1 doesH6213 nothingH3808H1697 either greatH1419 orH176 smallH6996 1withoutH3808 informingH1540H241 me. So whyH4069 would my fatherH1 hideH5641 thisH2088 thingH1697 from me? It is not soH2088!”

3Yet DavidH1732 2vowedH7650 againH5750, 3sayingH559, “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 4as the LordH3068 livesH2416 and as your soulH5315 livesH2416, there is 5just a stepH6587 betweenH996 me and deathH4194.”
