@ And
David
fled
from
Naioth
in
Ramah
, and
came
and
said
before
Jonathan
, What have I
done
? what is mine
iniquity
? and what is my
sin
before
thy
father
, that he
seeketh
my
life
?
strkjv@1Samuel:20:2
@ And he
said
unto him, God
forbid
; thou shalt not
die
: behold, my
father
will
do
nothing
either
great
or
small
, but that he will
shew
it me: and why should my
father
hide
this
thing
from me? it is not so.
strkjv@1Samuel:20:3
@ And
David
sware
moreover, and
said
, Thy
father
certainly
knoweth
that I have
found
grace
in thine
eyes
; and he
saith
, Let not
Jonathan
know
this, lest he be
grieved
: but
truly
as the
LORD
liveth
, and as thy
soul
liveth
, there is but a
step
between me and
death
.
strkjv@1Samuel:20:4
@ Then
said
Jonathan
unto
David
, Whatsoever thy
soul
desireth
, I will even
do
it for thee.
strkjv@1Samuel:20:5
@ And
David
said
unto
Jonathan
, Behold, to
morrow
is the new
moon
, and I should not
fail
to
sit
with the
king
at
meat
: but let me
go
, that I may
hide
myself in the
field
unto the
third
day at
even
.
strkjv@1Samuel:20:6
@ If thy
father
at
all
miss
me, then
say
,
David
earnestly
asked
leave of me that he might
run
to
Bethlehem
Beythhis
city
: for there is a
yearly
sacrifice
there for all the
family
.
strkjv@1Samuel:20:7
@ If he
say
thus, It is
well
; thy
servant
shall have
peace
: but if he be
very
wroth
, then be
sure
that
evil
is
determined
by him.
strkjv@1Samuel:20:8
@ Therefore thou shalt
deal
kindly
with thy
servant
; for thou hast
brought
thy
servant
into a
covenant
of the
LORD
with thee: notwithstanding, if there
be
in me
iniquity
,
slay
me thyself; for why shouldest thou
bring
me to thy
father
?
strkjv@1Samuel:20:9
@ And
Jonathan
said
, Far be it from
thee
: for if I
knew
certainly
that
evil
were
determined
by my
father
to
come
upon thee, then would not I
tell
it thee?
strkjv@1Samuel:20:10
@ Then
said
David
to
Jonathan
, Who shall
tell
me? or what if thy
father
answer
thee
roughly
?
strkjv@1Samuel:20:11
@ And
Jonathan
said
unto
David
,
Come
, and let us go
out
into the
field
. And they went
out
both
of them into the
field
.
strkjv@1Samuel:20:12
@ And
Jonathan
said
unto
David
, O
LORD
God
of
Israel
, when I have
sounded
my
father
about to
morrow
any
time
, or the
third
day, and, behold, if there be
good
toward
David
, and I then
send
not unto thee, and
shew
it thee;
strkjv@1Samuel:20:13
@ The
LORD
do
so
and much
more
to
Jonathan
: but if it
please
my
father
to do thee
evil
, then I will
shew
it thee, and send thee
away
, that thou mayest
go
in
peace
: and the
LORD
be with thee, as he hath been with my
father
.
strkjv@1Samuel:20:14
@ And thou shalt not only while
yet
I
live
shew
me the
kindness
of the
LORD
, that I
die
not:
strkjv@1Samuel:20:15
@ But also thou shalt not cut
off
thy
kindness
from my
house
for
ever
: no, not when the
LORD
hath cut
off
the
enemies
of
David
every
one
from the
face
of the
earth
.
strkjv@1Samuel:20:16
@ So
Jonathan
made
a covenant with the
house
of
David
, saying, Let the
LORD
even
require
it at the
hand
of
Davids
enemies
.
strkjv@1Samuel:20:17
@ And
Jonathan
caused
David
to
swear
again
, because he
loved
him: for he
loved
him as he
loved
his own
soul
.
strkjv@1Samuel:20:18
@ Then
Jonathan
said
to
David
, To
morrow
is the new
moon
: and thou shalt be
missed
, because thy
seat
will be
empty
.
strkjv@1Samuel:20:19
@ And when thou hast stayed three
days
, then thou shalt go
down
quickly
m@, and
come
to the
place
where thou didst
hide
thyself
when
the
business
was in hand, and shalt
remain
by
the
stone
Ezel
.
strkjv@1Samuel:20:20
@ And I will
shoot
three
arrows
on the
side
thereof, as though I
shot
at a
mark
.
strkjv@1Samuel:20:21
@ And, behold, I will
send
a
lad
, saying,
Go
, find
out
the
arrows
. If I
expressly
say
unto the
lad
, Behold, the
arrows
are on this side of thee,
take
them; then
come
thou: for there is
peace
to thee, and no
hurt
; as the
LORD
liveth
.
strkjv@1Samuel:20:22
@ But if I
say
thus unto the young
man
, Behold, the
arrows
are
beyond
thee; go thy
way
: for the
LORD
hath sent thee
away
.
strkjv@1Samuel:20:23
@ And as touching the
matter
which thou and I have
spoken
of, behold, the
LORD
be between thee and me
for
ever
.
strkjv@1Samuel:20:24
@ So
David
hid
himself in the
field
: and when the new
moon
was come, the
king
sat him
down
to
eat
meat
.
strkjv@1Samuel:20:25
@ And the
king
sat
upon his
seat
, as at other
times
, even upon a
seat
by the
wall
: and
Jonathan
arose
, and
Abner
sat
by
Sauls
side
, and
Davids
place
was
empty
.
strkjv@1Samuel:20:26
@ Nevertheless
Saul
spake
not any
thing
that
day
: for he
thought
, Something hath
befallen
him, he is
not
clean
; surely he is not
clean
.
strkjv@1Samuel:20:27
@ And it came to pass on the
morrow
, which was the
second
day of the
month
, that
Davids
place
was
empty
: and
Saul
said
unto
Jonathan
his
son
, Wherefore
cometh
not the
son
of
Jesse
to
meat
, neither
yesterday
, nor to
day
?
strkjv@1Samuel:20:28
@ And
Jonathan
answered
Saul
,
David
earnestly
asked
leave of
me
to go to
Bethlehem
Beyth:
strkjv@1Samuel:20:29
@ And he
said
, Let me
go
, I pray thee; for our
family
hath a
sacrifice
in the
city
; and my
brother
, he hath
commanded
me to be there: and now, if I have
found
favour
in thine
eyes
, let me get
away
, I pray thee, and
see
my
brethren
. Therefore he
cometh
not unto the
kings
table
.
strkjv@1Samuel:20:30
@ Then
Sauls
anger
was
kindled
against
Jonathan
, and he
said
unto him, Thou
son
of the
perverse
rebellious
woman, do not I
know
that thou hast
chosen
the
son
of
Jesse
to thine own
confusion
, and unto the
confusion
of thy
mothers
nakedness
?
strkjv@1Samuel:20:31
@ For as long
as
the
son
of
Jesse
liveth
upon the
ground
, thou shalt not be
established
, nor thy
kingdom
. Wherefore now
send
and
fetch
him unto me, for he shall surely
die
.
strkjv@1Samuel:20:32
@ And
Jonathan
answered
Saul
his
father
, and
said
unto him, Wherefore shall he be
slain
? what hath he
done
?
strkjv@1Samuel:20:33
@ And
Saul
cast
a
javelin
at him to
smite
him: whereby
Jonathan
knew
that it was
determined
of his
father
to
slay
David
.
strkjv@1Samuel:20:34
@ So
Jonathan
arose
from the
table
in
fierce
anger
, and did
eat
no
meat
the
second
day
of the
month
: for he was
grieved
for
David
, because his
father
had done him
shame
.
strkjv@1Samuel:20:35
@ And it came to pass in the
morning
, that
Jonathan
went
out
into the
field
at the time
appointed
with
David
, and a
little
lad
with him.
strkjv@1Samuel:20:36
@ And he
said
unto his
lad
,
Run
, find
out
now the
arrows
which I
shoot
. And as the
lad
ran
, he
shot
an
arrow
beyond
him.
strkjv@1Samuel:20:37
@ And when the
lad
was
come
to the
place
of the
arrow
which
Jonathan
had
shot
,
Jonathan
cried
after
the
lad
, and
said
, Is not the
arrow
beyond
thee?
strkjv@1Samuel:20:38
@ And
Jonathan
cried
after
the
lad
, Make
speed
,
haste
,
stay
not. And
Jonathans
lad
gathered
up
the
arrows
, and
came
to his
master
.
strkjv@1Samuel:20:39
@ But the
lad
knew
not any
thing
: only
Jonathan
and
David
knew
the
matter
.
strkjv@1Samuel:20:40
@ And
Jonathan
gave
his
artillery
unto his
lad
, and
said
unto him,
Go
,
carry
them to the
city
.
strkjv@1Samuel:20:41
@ And as soon as the
lad
was
gone
,
David
arose
out of a place
toward
the
south
, and
fell
on his
face
to the
ground
, and
bowed
himself
three
times
: and they
kissed
one
another
, and
wept
one
with
another
, until
David
exceeded
.
strkjv@1Samuel:20:42
@ And
Jonathan
said
to
David
,
Go
in
peace
, forasmuch as we have
sworn
both
of us in the
name
of the
LORD
,
saying
, The
LORD
be between me and thee, and between my
seed
and thy
seed
for
ever
. And he
arose
and
departed
: and
Jonathan
went
into the
city
.
