Discovery Box1 Samuel 20:32-35 
Context20:32 Jonathan responded to his father Saul, “Why should he be put to death? What has he done?” 20:33 Then Saul threw his spear at Jonathan 1 in order to strike him down. So Jonathan was convinced 2 that his father had decided to kill David. 20:34 Jonathan got up from the table enraged. He did not eat any food on that second day of the new moon, for he was upset that his father had humiliated David. 3
20:35 The next morning Jonathan, along with a young servant, went out to the field to meet David.
1 tn Heb “him”; the referent (Jonathan) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
2 tn Heb “knew.”
3 tn Heb “for he was upset concerning David for his father had humiliated him.” The referent of the pronoun “him” is not entirely clear, but the phrase “concerning David” suggests that it refers to David, rather than Jonathan.
