1 Samuel 20:4-9
4Then saidH559 JonathanH3083 unto DavidH1732, Whatsoever thy soulH5315 desirethH559, I will even doH6213 it for thee.12
5And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto JonathanH3083, Behold, to morrowH4279 is the new moonH2320, and I should not failH3427 to sitH3427 with the kingH4428 at meatH398: but let me goH7971, that I may hideH5641 myself in the fieldH7704 unto the thirdH7992 day at evenH6153.
6If thy fatherH1 at allH6485 missH6485 me, then sayH559, DavidH1732 earnestlyH7592 askedH7592 leave of me that he might runH7323 to Beth–lehemH1035 his cityH5892: for there is a yearlyH3117 sacrificeH2077 there for all the familyH4940.3
7If he sayH559 thus, It is wellH2896; thy servantH5650 shall have peaceH7965: but if he be veryH2734 wrothH2734, then be sureH3045 that evilH7451 is determinedH3615 by him.
8Therefore thou shalt dealH6213 kindlyH2617 with thy servantH5650; for thou hast broughtH935 thy servantH5650 into a covenantH1285 of YhwhH3068 with thee: notwithstanding, if there beH3426 in me iniquityH5771, slayH4191 me thyself; for why shouldest thou bringH935 me to thy fatherH1?
9And JonathanH3083 saidH559, Far be it from theeH2486: for if I knewH3045 certainlyH3045 that evilH7451 were determinedH3615 by my fatherH1 to comeH935 upon thee, then would not I tellH5046 it thee?
