1: and fledH1272 DavidH1732 from NaiothH5121 in Ramah,H7414 and wentH0935 and saidH0559 toH6440 Jonathan,H3083 whatH4100 have I done?H6213 what [is]H4100 my iniquity?H5771 and what [is]H4100 my sinH2403 beforeH6440 your father,H0001 thatH3588 he seeksH1245 -H0853 my life?H5315

2: so Jonathan saidH0559 by no means-H2486 notH3808 You shall die.H4191 Indeed,H2009 will doH6213 my fatherH0001 nothingH1697 either greatH1419 orH0176 thingH1697 small,H6996 and withoutH3808 first tellingH1540 -H0853 me-H0241 and whyH4069 should hideH5641 my fatherH0001 from meH4480 -H0853 thingH1697 thisH2088 notH0369 this [is so].H2063

3: And took an oathH7650 again,H5750 DavidH1732 and said,H0559 surelyH3045 knowsH3045 Your fatherH0001 thatH3588 I have foundH4672 favorH2580 in your eyes-H5869 and he has said,H0559 notH0408 do let knowH3045 this,H2063 JonathanH3083 lestH6435 he be grieved-H6087 but trulyH0199 [as] lives,H2416 YahwehH3068 and [as] lives,H2416 your soulH5315 butH3588 [there is] a stepH6587 between meH0996 andH0996 death.H4194

4: So saidH0559 JonathanH3083 toH0413 David,H1732 whatH4100 desire,H0559 you yourselfH5315 and I will do [it]H6213

5: And saidH0559 DavidH1732 toH0413 Jonathan,H3083 indeed,H2009 the New Moon,H2320 tomorrow [is]H4279 and IH0595 not fail toH3427 should sitH3427 withH5973 the kingH4428 to eat-H0398 but let me go,H7971 that I may hideH5641 in the fieldH7704 untilH5704 at eveningH6153 the third [day].H7992

6: IfH0518 at allH6485 misses meH6485 your fatherH0001 then say,H0559 earnestlyH7592 asked [permission]H7592 of meH4480 DavidH1732 that he might run overH7323 BethlehemH1035 his city,H5892 forH3588 [there is] a sacrificeH2077 yearlyH3117 thereH8033 for allH3605 the family.H4940

7: IfH0518 thus,H3541 he saysH0559 [it is] well-H2896 will be safe-H7965 your servantH5650 but ifH0518 veryH2734 is angry,H2734 [then] be sureH3045 thatH3588 is determinedH3615 evilH7451 by him.H5973

8: Therefore you shall dealH6213 kindlyH2617 withH5921 your servant-H5650 forH3588 into a covenantH1285 of YahwehH3068 you have broughtH0935 -H0853 your servantH5650 with youH5973 and nevertheless ifH0518 there isH3426 iniquity,H5771 kill meH4191 you-H0859 for toH5704 your father?H0001 whyH4100 [is] thisH2088 [that] you should bring me.H0935

9: But said,H0559 JonathanH3083 Far be itH2486 forH3588 ifH0518 surelyH3045 I knewH3045 thatH3588 was determinedH3615 evilH7451 byH5973 my fatherH0001 to comeH0935 upon youH5921 then notH3808 -H0853 would I tellH5046

10: And saidH0559 DavidH1732 toH0413 Jonathan,H3083 whoH4310 will tellH5046 orH0176 what [if]H4100 answers youH6030 your fatherH0001 roughly?H7186

11: and saidH0559 JonathanH3083 toH0413 David,H1732 come,H1980 and let us go outH3318 into the field.H7704 So went outH3318 the two of themH8147 into the field.H7704

12: And saidH0559 JonathanH3083 toH0413 David,H1732 Yahweh [is witness]H3068 GodH0430 of Israel,H3478 whenH3588 I have sounded outH2713 -H0853 my fatherH0001 sometime,H6256 tomorrowH4279 [or] the third [day]H7992 and indeed,H2009 [there is] goodH2896 towardH0413 David,H1732 and notH3808 I thenH0227 I do sendH7971 to youH0413 and tellH1540 -H0853 you.H0241

13: SoH3541 may doH6213 YahwehH3068 to Jonathan-H3083 and muchH3541 moreH3254 but ifH3588 it pleasesH3190 untoH0413 my fatherH0001 -H0853 [to do] evil,H7451 youH5921 then I will report itH1540 -H0853 to youH0241 and send you away,H7971 that you may goH1980 in safety.H7965 And beH1961 YahwehH3068 with youH5973 asH0834 He has beenH1961 withH5973 my father.H0001

14: AndH3808 whileH0518 I stillH5750 liveH2416 and not-H3808 you shall only showH6213 meH5978 the kindnessH2617 of Yahweh,H3068 that notH3808 I may die.H4191

15: But notH3808 you shall cut offH3772 -H0853 your kindnessH2617 fromH5973 my houseH1004 forH5704 ever-H5769 and when no notH3808 has cut offH3772 YahwehH3068 -H0853 the enemiesH0341 of DavidH1732 every one ofH0376 fromH5921 the faceH6440 of the earth.H0127

16: So made [a covenant]H3772 JonathanH3083 withH5973 the houseH1004 of David,H1732 and [saying] let require [it]H1245 YahwehH3068 at the handH3027 of enemiesH0341 of David.H1732

17: And caused again,H3254 JonathanH3083 to vowH7650 -H0853 DavidH1732 because of his loveH0160 for himH0853 for asH3588 the loveH0160 of his own soulH5315 he loved him.H0157

18: And saidH0559 JonathanH3083 Tomorrow [is]H4279 the New Moon-H2320 and you will be missed,H6485 becauseH3588 will be emptyH6485 your seat.H4186

19: And [when] you have stayed three days,H8027 go downH3381 quickly,H3966 and comeH0935 toH0413 the placeH4725 whereH0834 you hidH5641 whenH8033 on the dayH3117 of the deedH4639 and remainH3427 byH0681 the stoneH0068 Ezel.H0237

20: And IH0589 threeH7969 arrowsH2678 to the sideH6654 will shootH3384 shotH7971 at a target.H4307

21: And there,H2009 I will sendH7971 -H0853 a boy,H5288 [saying] go,H1980 findH4672 -H0853 the arrowsH2678 ifH0518 expresslyH0559 I sayH0559 to him,H5288 Look,H2009 the arrows [are]H2678 on this side of youH4480 andH2008 get themH3947 and comeH0935 thenH3588 [there is] safetyH7965 and noH0369 harm-H1697 as livesH2416 Yahweh.H3068

22: But ifH0518 thusH3541 I sayH0559 to the young man,H5958 Look,H2009 the arrows [are]H2678 beyond youH4480 andH1973 go your way,H1980 forH3588 has sent you awayH7971 Yahweh.H3068

23: And as for the matterH1697 whichH0834 have spokenH1696 of IH0589 and youH0859 indeed,H2009 Yahweh [be]H3068 between meH0996 and youH0996 -H5704 forever.H5769

24: And hidH5641 DavidH1732 in the field-H7704 and when had come,H1961 the New MoonH2320 and sat downH3427 the kingH4428 uponH5921 the feastH0413 to eat.H0398

25: And satH3427 the kingH4428 onH5921 his seat,H4186 as atH6471 other times,H6471 onH0413 a seatH4186 the by wall-H7023 and arose,H6965 JonathanH3083 and satH3427 AbnerH0074 by side,H6654 of SaulH7586 but was emptyH6485 placeH4725 of David.H1732

26: And nevertheless notH3808 did sayH1696 SaulH7586 anythingH3972 day,H3117 thatH1931 forH3588 he thought,H0559 Something has happened toH4745 himH1931 notH1115 unclean-H2889 he [is]H1931 surelyH3588 notH3808 he [is] unclean.H2889

27: And it came to passH1961 the next day,H4283 the month,H2320 the second [day]H8145 of that was empty-H6485 placeH4725 of DavidH1732 and saidH0559 SaulH7586 toH0413 JonathanH3083 his son,H1121 whyH4069 notH3808 has comeH0935 the sonH1121 of JesseH3448 eitherH1571 yesterday,H8543 orH1571 today?H3117 toH0413 eat,H3899

28: so answeredH6030 JonathanH3083 -H0853 Saul,H7586 earnestlyH7592 asked [permission to go]H7592 DavidH1732 of meH5978 toH5704 Bethlehem,H1035

29: and he said,H0559 let me go,H7971 please-H4994 forH3588 has a sacrificeH2077 familyH4940 in the city-H5892 and heH1931 has commanded [to be there]H6680 my brother,H0251 now,H6258 ifH0518 I have foundH4672 favorH2580 in your eyes,H5869 let me get away,H4422 please,H4994 and seeH7200 -H0853 my brothers.H0251 OnH5921 thereforeH3651 notH3808 he has comeH0935 toH0413 tableH7979 of the king.H4428

30: And was arousedH2734 angerH0639 of SaulH7586 against Jonathan,H3083 and he saidH0559 You sonH1121 of a perverseH5753 rebellious [woman]H4780 do notH3808 I knowH3045 thatH3588 have chosenH0977 youH0859 the sonH1121 of JesseH3448 to your own shame,H1322 and to the shameH1322 of nakednessH6172 of your mother?H0517

31: forH3588 allH3605 as long asH3117 whichH0834 the sonH1121 of JesseH3448 livesH2416 onH5921 the earth,H0127 notH3808 shall be established,H3559 youH0859 nor your kingdom.H4438 Therefore nowH6258 sendH7971 and bringH3947 himH0853 to meH0413 forH3588 a sonH1121 shall surely dieH4194 he.H1931

32: And answeredH6030 JonathanH3083 -H0853 SaulH7586 his father,H0001 and saidH0559 to himH0413 whyH4100 should he be killed?H4191 whatH4100 has he done?H6213

33: and castH2904 SaulH7586 -H0853 a spearH2595 at himH5921 to kill himH5221 and knewH3045 by which JonathanH3083 thatH3588 was determinedH3617 itH1931 byH5973 his fatherH0001 to killH4191 -H0853 David.H1732

34: So aroseH6965 JonathanH3083 fromH5973 the tableH7979 in fierceH2750 anger,H0639 and noH3808 ateH0398 dayH3117 of the month-H2320 the secondH8145 foodH3899 forH3588 he was grievedH6087 forH0413 David,H1732 becauseH3588 had treated him shamefullyH3637 his father.H0001

35: And so it wasH1961 in the morning,H1242 that went outH3318 JonathanH3083 into the fieldH7704 at the time appointed withH4150 David,H1732 and a boy [was]H5288 littleH6996 with him.H5973

36: And he saidH0559 to his boy,H5288 run,H7323 findH4672 nowH4994 -H0853 the arrowsH2678 whichH0834 IH0595 shoot.H3384 The as boyH5288 ran,H7323 and heH1931 shotH3384 an arrowH2678 beyond him.H5674

37: And when had comeH0935 the boyH5288 toH5704 the place whereH4725 the arrow wasH2678 whichH0834 had shot,H3384 JonathanH3083 and cried outH7121 JonathanH3083 afterH0310 the boy,H5288 and said,H0559 [Is] notH3808 the arrowH2678 beyond youH4480 and.H1973

38: And cried outH7121 JonathanH3083 afterH0310 the boy,H5288 hurry,H4120 Make haste,H2363 not.H0408 Do delayH5975 so gathered upH3950 boyH5288 of JonathanH3083 -H0853 the arrows,H2678 and came backH0935 toH0413 his master.H0113

39: But the boyH5288 notH3808 did knowH3045 anything-H3972 onlyH0389 JonathanH3083 and DavidH1732 knewH3045 -H0853 of the matter.H1697

40: And gaveH5414 JonathanH3083 -H0853 his weaponsH3627 toH0413 boy,H5288 hisH0834 and saidH0559 go,H1980 carry [them]H0935 to the city.H5892

41: The boyH5288 had gone,H0935 and DavidH1732 aroseH6965 from [a place] towardH0681 the Negev,H5045 and fellH5307 on his faceH0639 to the ground,H0776 and bowed downH7812 threeH7969 times.H6471 And they kissedH5401 oneH0376 -H0853 another,H7453 and they weptH1058 oneH0376 -H0853 together,H7453 butH5704 DavidH1732 more so.H1431

42: And saidH0559 JonathanH3083 to David,H1732 goH1980 in peace,H7965 sinceH0834 have swornH7650 the two of usH8147 weH0587 in the nameH8034 of Yahweh,H3068 saying,H0559 YahwehH3068 May beH1961 between meH0996 and youH0996 and betweenH0996 my descendantsH2233 andH0996 your descendantsH2233 forH5704 ever.H5769
