• 1 Sam 20:8-9 : 8 Therefore thou shalt deal{H6213}{(H8804)} kindly{H2617} with thy servant{H5650}; for thou hast brought{H935}{(H8689)} thy servant{H5650} into a covenant{H1285} of the LORD{H3068} with thee: notwithstanding, if there be{H3426} in me iniquity{H5771}, slay{H4191}{(H8685)} me thyself; for why shouldest thou bring{H935}{(H8686)} me to thy father{H1}? 9 And Jonathan{H3083} said{H559}{(H8799)}, Far be it from thee{H2486}: for if I knew{H3045}{(H8799)} certainly{H3045}{(H8800)} that evil{H7451} were determined{H3615}{(H8804)} by my father{H1} to come{H935}{(H8800)} upon thee, then would not I tell{H5046}{(H8686)} it thee? 10 Then said{H559}{(H8799)} David{H1732} to Jonathan{H3083}, Who shall tell{H5046}{(H8686)} me? or what if thy father{H1} answer{H6030}{(H8799)} thee roughly{H7186}? 11 And Jonathan{H3083} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto David{H1732}, Come{H3212}{(H8798)}, and let us go out{H3318}{(H8799)} into the field{H7704}.
