    1David fled from Naioth in Ramah. He came and said to Jonathan, "What have I done? What is my guilt, and what is my sin before your father that he seeks my life?"

    2Jonathan said to him, "Far be it! You shall not die. Behold, my father does nothing great or small without revealing it to me. Why then would my father hide this matter from me? It's not so!"

    3But David swore again and said, "Your father knows well that I have found favor in your eyes, and he thinks, 'Let Jonathan not know this, lest he be grieved.' But as the LORD lives and as your soul lives, there is but a step between me and death."

    9Jonathan said, "Far be it from you! If I knew for certain that my father intended to harm you, wouldn't I tell you?"
