1 Samuel 20:12-17

12And JonathanH3083 saidH559 to DavidH1732, O LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, when I have soundedH2713 my fatherH1 about to morrowH4279 any timeH6256, or the thirdH7992 day, and, behold, if there be goodH2895 toward DavidH1732, and I then sendH7971 not to thee, and showH1540H241 it thee;12 13The LORDH3068 doH6213 soH3541 and much moreH3254 to JonathanH3083: but if it shall pleaseH3190 my fatherH1 to do thee evilH7451, then I will showH1540H241 it to thee, and send thee awayH7971, that thou mayest goH1980 in peaceH7965: and the LORDH3068 be with thee, as he hath been with my fatherH1.3 14And thou shalt not only while yetH518 I liveH2416 showH6213 me the kindnessH2617 of the LORDH3068, that I may not dieH4191: 15But also thou shalt not withdrawH3772 thy kindnessH2617 from my houseH1004 forH5704 everH5769: no, not when the LORDH3068 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 the LORDH3068 even requireH1245 it at the handH3027 of David’sH1732 enemiesH341.4 17And JonathanH3083 caused DavidH1732 to swearH7650 againH3254, because he lovedH160 him: for he lovedH157 him as he lovedH160 his own soulH5315.5
