1 Samuel 20:13-17

13YhwhH3068 doH6213 soH3541 and much moreH3254 to JonathanH3083: but if it pleaseH3190 my fatherH1 to do thee evilH7451, then I will shewH241H1540 it thee, and send thee awayH7971, that thou mayest goH1980 in peaceH7965: And YhwhH3068 be with thee, as he hath been with my fatherH1.1

14And thou shalt not only while yetH518 I liveH2416 shewH6213 me the kindnessH2617 of YhwhH3068, that I dieH4191 not:

15But also thou shalt not cut offH3772 thy kindnessH2617 from my houseH1004 forH5704 everH5769: no, not when YhwhH3068 hath cut offH3772 the enemiesH341 of DavidH1732 every oneH376 from the faceH6440 of the earthH127.

16So JonathanH3083 madeH3772 a covenant with the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, saying, Let YhwhH3068 even requireH1245 it at the handH3027 of David’sH1732 enemiesH341.2

17And JonathanH3083 caused DavidH1732 to swearH7650 againH3254, because he lovedH160 him: for he lovedH157 him as he lovedH160 his own soulH5315.3
