1 Samuel 20:24-40

24SoH1961 DavidH1732 hidH5641 himselfH3427 in the fieldH7704: and when the newH2320 moonH2320 was comeH1961, the kingH4428 satH3427 him downH3427 to eatH398 meat.

25And the kingH4428 satH3427 uponH5921 his seatH4186, as at otherH6471 timesH6471, evenH5921 uponH5921 the seatH4186 by the wallH7023; and JonathanH3083 stoodH6965 upH6965, and AbnerH74 satH3427 by Saul’sH7586 sideH6654: but David’sH1732 placeH4725 was emptyH6485.

26NeverthelessH3588 SaulH7586 spake notH3808 anyH3972 thingH3588 that dayH3117: for he thoughtH559, SomethingH3972 hath befallen him, he is notH3808 cleanH2889; surelyH3588 he is notH3808 cleanH2889.

27And it cameH935 to passH935 on the morrow afterH4283 the newH2320 moonH2320, whichH3899 was the secondH8145 dayH3117, that David’sH1732 placeH4725 was emptyH6485: and SaulH7586 saidH559 unto JonathanH3083 his sonH1121, Wherefore cometh notH3808 the sonH1121 of JesseH3448 to meat, neitherH3808 yesterdayH8543, norH3808 todayH3117?

28And JonathanH3083 answeredH6030 SaulH7586, DavidH1732 earnestlyH7592 askedH7592 leaveH7592 of meH5978 to go to Beth-lehem:

29and he saidH559, LetH7971 meH413 goH935, I prayH4994 thee; for our familyH4940 hath a sacrificeH2077 in the cityH5892; and my brotherH251, he hath commandedH6680 meH413 to be there: and nowH6258, ifH518 I have foundH4672 favour in thine eyesH5869, letH7971 meH413 getH935 awayH7971, I prayH4994 thee, and seeH7200 my brethrenH251. Therefore he is notH3808 comeH935 unto the king’sH4428 tableH7979.

30Then Saul’sH7586 angerH639 was kindledH2734 againstH2734 JonathanH3083, and he saidH559 unto him, Thou sonH1121 of a perverse rebelliousH4780 woman, do notH3808 I knowH3045 that thou hast chosenH977 the sonH1121 of JesseH3448 to thine own shameH1322, and unto the shameH1322 of thy mother’sH517 nakednessH6172?

31For as longH3117 as the sonH1121 of JesseH3448 liveth uponH5921 the groundH127, thou shalt notH3808 be stablished, norH3808 thy kingdomH4438. Wherefore nowH6258 sendH7971 and fetch him unto meH413, for he shall surelyH3588 dieH4194.

32And JonathanH3083 answeredH559 SaulH7586 his fatherH1, and saidH559 unto him, Wherefore should he be putH4191 to deathH4191? whatH4100 hath he doneH6213?

33And SaulH7586 castH2904 his spearH2595 at him to smiteH5221 him: whereby JonathanH3083 knewH3045 that it was determined of his fatherH1 to putH4191 DavidH1732 to deathH4191.

34SoH3808 JonathanH3083 aroseH6965 from the tableH7979 in fierceH2750 angerH639, and didH3808 eatH398 noH3808 meat the secondH8145 dayH3117 of the monthH2320: for he was grievedH6087 for DavidH1732, becauseH3588 his fatherH1 had done him shameH3637.

35And it cameH1961 to passH1961 in the morningH1242, that JonathanH3083 wentH3318 outH3318 intoH1961 the fieldH7704 at the time appointedH4150 with DavidH1732, and a littleH6996 ladH5288 with him.

36And he saidH559 unto his ladH5288, RunH7323, findH4672 nowH4994 the arrowsH2678 whichH834 I shootH3384. And as the ladH5288 ranH7323, he shotH3384 an arrowH2678 beyondH5674 him.

37And when the ladH5288 was comeH935 to the placeH4725 of the arrowH2678 whichH834 JonathanH3083 had shotH3384, JonathanH3083 criedH7121 afterH310 the ladH5288, and saidH559, Is notH3808 the arrowH2678 beyondH1973 thee?

38And JonathanH3083 criedH7121 afterH310 the ladH5288, MakeH7121 speedH4120, haste, stayH5975 notH408. And Jonathan’sH3083 ladH5288 gatheredH3950 upH5975 the arrowsH2678, and cameH935 to his masterH113.

39But the ladH5288 knewH3045 notH3808 anyH3972 thingH1697: onlyH389 JonathanH3083 and DavidH1732 knewH3045 the matterH1697.

40And JonathanH3083 gaveH5414 his weaponsH3627 unto his ladH5288, and saidH559 unto him, GoH935, carryH935 them to the cityH5892.
