    16So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, "Yahweh will require it at the hand of David's enemies."

    17Jonathan caused David to swear again, for the love that he had to him; for he loved him as he loved his own soul.

    18Then Jonathan said to him, "Tomorrow is the new moon: and you will be missed, because your seat will be empty.

    19When you have stayed three days, you shall go down quickly, and come to the place where you did hide yourself when the business was in hand, and shall remain by the stone Ezel.

    23Concerning the matter which you and I have spoken of, behold, Yahweh is between you and me forever."

    24So David hid himself in the field: and when the new moon was come, the king sat him down to eat food.

    25The king sat on his seat, as at other times, even on the seat by the wall; and Jonathan stood up, and Abner sat by Saul's side: but David's place was empty.

    26Nevertheless Saul didn't say anything that day: for he thought, "Something has happened to him. He is not clean. Surely he is not clean."

    27It happened on the next day after the new moon, the second day, that David's place was empty. Saul said to Jonathan his son, "Why doesn't the son of Jesse come to eat, neither yesterday, nor today?"

    28Jonathan answered Saul, "David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Bethlehem.

    29He said, 'Please let me go, for our family has a sacrifice in the city. My brother has commanded me to be there. Now, if I have found favor in your eyes, please let me go away and see my brothers.' Therefore he has not come to the king's table."

    10Then David said to Jonathan, "Who shall tell me if perchance your father answers you roughly?"

    11Jonathan said to David, "Come, and let us go out into the field." They both went out into the field.

    12Jonathan said to David, "Yahweh, the God of Israel, [be witness]: when I have sounded my father about this time tomorrow, [or] the third day, behold, if there be good toward David, shall I not then send to you, and disclose it to you?

    13Yahweh do so to Jonathan, and more also, should it please my father to do you evil, if I don't disclose it to you, and send you away, that you may go in peace: and Yahweh be with you, as he has been with my father.

    3David swore moreover, and said, "Your father knows well that I have found favor in your eyes; and he says, 'Don't let Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved:' but truly as Yahweh lives, and as your soul lives, there is but a step between me and death."
