1 Samuel 20:5-24

5And DavidH1732 saidH559 to JonathanH3083, Behold, to morrowH4279 is the new moonH2320, and I should not failH3427 to sitH3427 with the kingH4428 at the tableH398: but let me goH7971, that I may hideH5641 myself in the fieldH7704 to the thirdH7992 day at eveningH6153. 6If thy fatherH1 shall at allH6485 missH6485 me, then sayH559, DavidH1732 earnestlyH7592 askedH7592 leave of me that he might runH7323 to BethlehemH1035 his cityH5892: for there is a yearlyH3117 sacrificeH2077 there for all the familyH4940.1 7If he shall sayH559 thus, It is wellH2896; thy servantH5650 shall have peaceH7965: but if he shall be veryH2734 angryH2734, 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 the LORDH3068 with thee: however, if there isH3426 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 is determinedH3615 by my fatherH1 to comeH935 upon thee, then would not I tellH5046 it thee? 10Then saidH559 DavidH1732 to JonathanH3083, Who shall tellH5046 me? or what if thy fatherH1 shall answerH6030 thee roughlyH7186? 11And JonathanH3083 saidH559 to DavidH1732, ComeH3212, and let us go outH3318 into the fieldH7704. And they went outH3318 bothH8147 of them into the fieldH7704. 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;23 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 fatherH1.4 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 enemiesH341.5 17And JonathanH3083 caused DavidH1732 to swearH7650 againH3254, because he lovedH160 him: for he lovedH157 him as he lovedH160 his own soulH5315.6 18Then JonathanH3083 saidH559 to DavidH1732, To morrowH4279 is the new moonH2320: and thou shalt be missedH6485, because thy seatH4186 will be emptyH6485.7 19And when thou hast stayed three daysH8027, then thou shalt go downH3381 quicklyH3966, and comeH935 to the placeH4725 where thou didst hideH5641 thyself whenH3117 the businessH4639 was in hand, and shalt remainH3427 byH681 the stoneH68 EzelH237.8910 20And I will shootH3384 threeH7969 arrowsH2671 on the sideH6654 of it, as though I shotH7971 at a markH4307. 21And, behold, I will sendH7971 a ladH5288, saying, GoH3212, findH4672 the arrowsH2671. If I expresslyH559 sayH559 to the ladH5288, Behold, the arrowsH2671 are on this side of thee, takeH3947 them; then comeH935 thou: for there is peaceH7965 to thee, and no hurtH1697; as the LORDH3068 livethH2416.11 22But if I sayH559 thus to the young manH5958, Behold, the arrowsH2671 are beyondH1973 thee; go thy wayH3212: for the LORDH3068 hath sent thee awayH7971. 23And as to the matterH1697 which thou and I have spokenH1696 of, behold, the LORDH3068 be between thee and me forH5704 everH5769.

24So DavidH1732 hidH5641 himself in the fieldH7704: and when the new moonH2320 had come, the kingH4428 sat downH3427 to eatH398 foodH3899.
