1 Samuel 20:13

Context
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 know 1  and send word to you so you can go safely on your way. 2  May the Lord be with you, as he was with my father.

1 Samuel 20:16

Context
20:16 and called David’s enemies to account.” So Jonathan made a covenant 3  with the house of David. 4 

1 tn Heb “uncover your ear.”

2 tn Heb “in peace.”

3 tn Heb “cut.” The object of the verb (“covenant”) must be supplied.

4 tn The word order is different in the Hebrew text, which reads “and Jonathan cut with the house of David, and the Lord will seek from the hand of the enemies of David.” The translation assumes that the main clauses of the verse have been accidentally transposed in the course of transmission. The first part of the verse (as it stands in MT) belongs with v. 17, while the second part of the verse actually continues v. 15.
