1 Samuel 19:1-7
1And SaulH7586 spakeH1696 to JonathanH3129 his sonH1121, and to all his servantsH5650, that they should killH4191 DavidH1732. 2But JonathanH3083 Saul’sH7586 sonH1121 delightedH2654 muchH3966 in DavidH1732: and JonathanH3083 toldH5046 DavidH1732, sayingH559, SaulH7586 my fatherH1 seekethH1245 to killH4191 thee: now therefore, I pray thee, take heedH8104 to thyself until the morningH1242, and abideH3427 in a secretH5643 place, and hideH2244 thyself: 3And I will go outH3318 and standH5975 besideH3027 my fatherH1 in the fieldH7704 where thou art, and I will communeH1696 with my fatherH1 of thee; and whatH4100 I seeH7200, that I will tellH5046 thee.
4And JonathanH3083 spakeH1696 goodH2896 of DavidH1732 unto SaulH7586 his fatherH1, and saidH559 unto him, Let not the kingH4428 sinH2398 against his servantH5650, against DavidH1732; because he hath not sinnedH2398 against thee, and because his worksH4639 have been to thee-ward veryH3966 goodH2896: 5For he did putH7760 his lifeH5315 in his handH3709, and slewH5221 the PhilistineH6430, And YhwhH3068 wroughtH6213 a greatH1419 salvationH8668 for all IsraelH3478: thou sawestH7200 it, and didst rejoiceH8055: wherefore then wilt thou sinH2398 against innocentH5355 bloodH1818, to slayH4191 DavidH1732 without a causeH2600? 6And SaulH7586 hearkenedH8085 unto the voiceH6963 of JonathanH3083: and SaulH7586 swareH7650, As YhwhH3068 livethH2416, he shall notH518 be slainH4191. 7And JonathanH3083 calledH7121 DavidH1732, and JonathanH3083 shewedH5046 him all those thingsH1697. And JonathanH3083 broughtH935 DavidH1732 to SaulH7586, and he was in his presenceH6440, as in times pastH8032H865.1
