1 Samuel 20:12-13

Context
20:12 Jonathan said to David, “The Lord God of Israel is my witness.¹ 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?² 20:13 But if my father intends to do you harm, may the Lord do all this and more to Jonathan, if I don’t let you know³ and send word to you so you can go safely on your way.⁴ May the Lord be with you, as he was with my father.

1 Samuel 25:39

Context

25:39 When David heard that Nabal had died, he said, “Praised be the Lord who has vindicated me and avenged the insult that I suffered from Nabal!⁵ The Lord has kept his servant from doing evil, and he has repaid Nabal for his evil deeds.”⁶ Then David sent word to Abigail and asked her to become his wife.

¹tc The Hebrew text has simply “the Lord God of Israel.” On the basis of the Syriac version, many reconstruct the text to read “[is] my witness,” which may have fallen out of the text by homoioarcton (an error which is entirely possible if עֵד, ’ed, “witness,” immediately followed ַָדוִד, “David,” in the original text).

²tn Heb “and uncover your ear.”

³tn Heb “uncover your ear.”

⁴tn Heb “in peace.”

⁵tn Heb “who has argued the case of my insult from the hand of Nabal.”

⁶tn Heb “his servant he has held back from evil, and the evil of Nabal the Lord has turned back on his head.”
