1 Samuel 20:2-3
2And he saidH559 unto him, God forbidH2486; thou shalt not dieH4191: behold, my fatherH1 will doH6213 nothingH1697 either greatH1419 or smallH6996, but that he will shewH241H1540 it me: and why should my fatherH1 hideH5641 this thingH1697 from me? it is not so.1
3And DavidH1732 swareH7650 moreover, and saidH559, Thy fatherH1 certainlyH3045 knowethH3045 that I have foundH4672 graceH2580 in thine eyesH5869; and he saithH559, Let not JonathanH3083 knowH3045 this, lest he be grievedH6087: but trulyH199 as YhwhH3068 livethH2416, and as thy soulH5315 livethH2416, there is but a stepH6587 between me and deathH4194.
