1 Samuel 20:3
Context| NETBible | Taking an oath, David again 1 said, “Your father is very much aware of the fact 2 that I have found favor with you, and he has thought, 3 ‘Don’t let Jonathan know about this, or he will be upset.’ But as surely as the Lord lives and you live, there is about one step between me and death!” |

1 tc The LXX and the Syriac Peshitta lack the word “again.” 2 tn The infinitive absolute appears before the finite verb for emphasis. 3 tn Heb “said,” that is, to himself. So also in v. 25. |
