1 Samuel 20:5-24

And David
<01732>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Jonathan
<03083>_,
Behold, to morrow
<04279>
[is] the new moon
<02320>_,
and I should not fail
<03427> (8800)
to sit
<03427> (8799)
with the king
<04428>
at meat
<0398> (8800)_:
but let me go
<07971> (8765)_,
that I may hide
<05641> (8738)
myself in the field
<07704>
unto the third
<07992>
[day] at even
<06153>_.
If thy father
<01>
at all
<06485> (8800)
miss
<06485> (8799)
me, then say
<0559> (8804)_,
David
<01732>
earnestly
<07592> (8736)
asked
<07592> (8738)
[leave] of me that he might run
<07323> (8800)
to Bethlehem
<01035>
his city
<05892>_:
for [there is] a yearly
<03117>
sacrifice
<02077>
there for all the family
<04940>_.
{sacrifice: or, feast}
If he say
<0559> (8799)
thus, [It is] well
<02896>_;
thy servant
<05650>
shall have peace
<07965>_:
but if he be very
<02734> (8800)
wroth
<02734> (8799)_,
[then] be sure
<03045> (8798)
that evil
<07451>
is determined
<03615> (8804)
by him.
Therefore thou shalt deal
<06213> (8804)
kindly
<02617>
with thy servant
<05650>_;
for thou hast brought
<0935> (8689)
thy servant
<05650>
into a covenant
<01285>
of the LORD
<03068>
with thee: notwithstanding, if there be
<03426>
in me iniquity
<05771>_,
slay
<04191> (8685)
me thyself; for why shouldest thou bring
<0935> (8686)
me to thy father
<01>_?
And Jonathan
<03083>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Far be it from thee
<02486>_:
for if I knew
<03045> (8799)
certainly
<03045> (8800)
that evil
<07451>
were determined
<03615> (8804)
by my father
<01>
to come
<0935> (8800)
upon thee, then would not I tell
<05046> (8686)
it thee?
Then said
<0559> (8799)
David
<01732>
to Jonathan
<03083>_,
Who shall tell
<05046> (8686)
me? or what [if] thy father
<01>
answer
<06030> (8799)
thee roughly
<07186>_?
And Jonathan
<03083>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto David
<01732>_,
Come
<03212> (8798)_,
and let us go out
<03318> (8799)
into the field
<07704>_.
And they went out
<03318> (8799)
both
<08147>
of them into the field
<07704>_.
And Jonathan
<03083>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto David
<01732>_,
O LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
when I have sounded
<02713> (8799)
my father
<01>
about to morrow
<04279>
any time
<06256>_,
[or] the third
<07992>
[day], and, behold, [if there be] good
<02895> (8804)
toward David
<01732>_,
and I then send
<07971> (8799)
not unto thee, and shew
<01540> (8804) <0241>
it thee; {sounded: Heb. searched} {shew...: Heb. uncover thine ear}
The LORD
<03068>
do
<06213> (8799)
so
<03541>
and much more
<03254> (8686)
to Jonathan
<03083>_:
but if it please
<03190> (8686)
my father
<01>
[to do] thee evil
<07451>_,
then I will shew
<01540> (8804) <0241>
it thee, and send thee away
<07971> (8765)_,
that thou mayest go
<01980> (8804)
in peace
<07965>_:
and the LORD
<03068>
be with thee, as he hath been with my father
<01>_.
{shew...: Heb. uncover thine ear}
And thou shalt not only while yet
<0518>
I live
<02416>
shew
<06213> (8799)
me the kindness
<02617>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
that I die
<04191> (8799)
not:
But [also] thou shalt not cut off
<03772> (8686)
thy kindness
<02617>
from my house
<01004>
for
<05704>
ever
<05769>_:
no, not when the LORD
<03068>
hath cut off
<03772> (8687)
the enemies
<0341> (8802)
of David
<01732>
every one
<0376>
from the face
<06440>
of the earth
<0127>_.
So Jonathan
<03083>
made
<03772> (8799)
[a covenant] with the house
<01004>
of David
<01732>_,
[saying], Let the LORD
<03068>
even require
<01245> (8765)
[it] at the hand
<03027>
of David's
<01732>
enemies
<0341> (8802)_.
{made: Heb. cut}
And Jonathan
<03083>
caused David
<01732>
to swear
<07650> (8687)
again
<03254> (8686)_,
because he loved
<0160>
him: for he loved
<0157> (8804)
him as he loved
<0160>
his own soul
<05315>_.
{because...: or, by his love toward him}
Then Jonathan
<03083>
said
<0559> (8799)
to David
<01732>_,
To morrow
<04279>
[is] the new moon
<02320>_:
and thou shalt be missed
<06485> (8738)_,
because thy seat
<04186>
will be empty
<06485> (8735)_.
{empty: Heb. missed}
And [when] thou hast stayed three days
<08027> (8765)_,
[then] thou shalt go down
<03381> (8799)
quickly
<03966>_,
and come
<0935> (8804)
to the place
<04725>
where thou didst hide
<05641> (8738)
thyself when
<03117>
the business
<04639>
was [in hand], and shalt remain
<03427> (8804)
by
<0681>
the stone
<068>
Ezel
<0237>_.
{quickly: or, diligently: Heb. greatly} {Ezel: or, that sheweth the way} {when the...: Heb. in the day of the business}
And I will shoot
<03384> (8686)
three
<07969>
arrows
<02671>
on the side
<06654>
[thereof], as though I shot
<07971> (8763)
at a mark
<04307>_.
And, behold, I will send
<07971> (8799)
a lad
<05288>_,
[saying], Go
<03212> (8798)_,
find out
<04672> (8798)
the arrows
<02671>_.
If I expressly
<0559> (8800)
say
<0559> (8799)
unto the lad
<05288>_,
Behold, the arrows
<02671>
[are] on this side of thee, take
<03947> (8798)
them; then come
<0935> (8798)
thou: for [there is] peace
<07965>
to thee, and no hurt
<01697>_;
[as] the LORD
<03068>
liveth
<02416>_.
{no hurt: Heb. not any thing}
But if I say
<0559> (8799)
thus unto the young man
<05958>_,
Behold, the arrows
<02671>
[are] beyond
<01973>
thee; go thy way
<03212> (8798)_:
for the LORD
<03068>
hath sent thee away
<07971> (8765)_.
And [as touching] the matter
<01697>
which thou and I have spoken
<01696> (8765)
of, behold, the LORD
<03068>
[be] between thee and me for
<05704>
ever
<05769>_.
So David
<01732>
hid
<05641> (8735)
himself in the field
<07704>_:
and when the new moon
<02320>
was come, the king
<04428>
sat him down
<03427> (8799)
to eat
<0398> (8800)
meat
<03899>_.
