1 Samuel 20:13-17

13Yhwh do so and much more to Jonathan: but if it please my father to do thee evil, then I will shew it thee, and send thee away, that thou mayest go in peace: And Yhwh be with thee, as he hath been with my father.1

14And thou shalt not only while yet I live shew me the kindness of Yhwh, that I die not:

15But also thou shalt not cut off thy kindness from my house for ever: no, not when Yhwh hath cut off the enemies of David every one from the face of the earth.

16So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, Let Yhwh even require it at the hand of David’s enemies.2

17And Jonathan caused David to swear again, because he loved him: for he loved him as he loved his own soul.3
