2So Jonathan told David,“My father Saul is trying to kill you. So be careful tomorrow morning. Find a hiding place and stay in seclusion.
8You must be loyal to your servant, for you have made a covenant with your servant in the LORD’s name. If I am guilty, you yourself kill me! Why bother taking me to your father?”
9Jonathan said,“Far be it from you to suggest this! If I were at all aware that my father had decided to harm you, wouldn’t I tell you about it?”
10David said to Jonathan,“Who will tell me if your father answers you harshly?”
11Jonathan said to David,“Come on. Let’s go out to the field.”When the two of them had gone out into the field,
12Jonathan said to David,“The LORD God of Israel is my witness. I will feel out my father about this time the day after tomorrow. If he is favorably inclined toward David, will I not then send word to you and let you know?
13But if my father intends to do you harm, may the LORD do all this and more to Jonathan, if I don’t let you know and send word to you so you can go safely on your way. May the LORD be with you, as he was with my father.

17He said to him,“Don’t be afraid! For the hand of my father Saul cannot find you. You will rule over Israel, and I will be your second in command. Even my father Saul realizes this.”
18When the two of them had made a covenant before the LORD, David stayed on at Horesh, but Jonathan went to his house.
4So Jonathan spoke on David’s behalf to his father Saul. He said to him,“The king should not sin against his servant David, for he has not sinned against you. On the contrary, his actions have been very beneficial for you.
7His armor bearer said to him,“Do everything that is on your mind. Do as you’re inclined. I’m with you all the way!”
8Jonathan replied,“All right! We’ll go over to these men and fight them.
9If they say to us,‘Stay put until we approach you,’ we will stay right there and not go up to them.
6Saul accepted Jonathan’s advice and took an oath,“As surely as the LORD lives, he will not be put to death.”
7Then Jonathan called David and told him all these things. Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he served him as he had done formerly.
28Jonathan replied to Saul,“David urgently requested that he be allowed to go to Bethlehem.
29He said,‘Permit me to go, for we are having a family sacrifice in the city, and my brother urged me to be there. So now, if I have found favor with you, let me go to see my brothers.’ For that reason he has not come to the king’s table.”

42Jonathan said to David,“Go in peace, for the two of us have sworn together in the name of the LORD saying,‘The LORD will be between me and you and between my descendants and your descendants forever.’”
11Look, my father, and see the edge of your robe in my hand! When I cut off the edge of your robe, I didn’t kill you. So realize and understand that I am not planning evil or rebellion. Even though I have not sinned against you, you are waiting in ambush to take my life.

43So Saul said to Jonathan,“Tell me what you have done.” Jonathan told him,“I used the end of the staff that was in my hand to taste a little honey. I must die!”
44Saul said,“God will punish me severely if Jonathan doesn’t die!”
17So Saul said to the army that was with him,“Muster the troops and see who is no longer with us.” When they mustered the troops, Jonathan and his armor bearer were not there.
3Then David went from there to Mizpah in Moab, where he said to the king of Moab,“Please let my father and mother stay with you until I know what God is going to do for me.”
