1 Samuel 20:1 And David1732 fled1272 from Naioth5121 in Ramah,7414 and came935 and said559 before6440 Jonathan,3083 What have I done?6213 what is mine iniquity?5771 and what is my sin2403 before6440 thy father,1 that he seeketh1245 my life?5315 cr 2 And he said559 unto him, God forbid;2486 thou shalt not die:4191 behold, my father1 will do6213 6213 nothing1697 either great1419 or small,6996 but that he will shew1540 241 it me:{Heb. uncover mine ear} and why should my father1 hide5641 this thing1697 from me? it is not so. cr 3 And David1732 sware7650 moreover, and said,559 Thy father1 certainly3045 knoweth3045 that I have found4672 grace2580 in thine eyes;5869 and he saith,559 Let not Jonathan3083 know3045 this, lest he be grieved:6087 but truly199 as the LORD3068 liveth,2416 and as thy soul5315 liveth,2416 there is but a step6587 between me and death.4194 cr 4 Then said559 Jonathan3083 unto David,1732 Whatsoever thy soul5315{Or, say what is thy mind, and I will do, etc.} desireth,559{Heb. speaketh, or thinketh} I will even do6213 it for thee. cr 5 And David1732 said559 unto Jonathan,3083 Behold, to morrow4279 is the new moon,2320 and I should not fail3427 to sit3427 with the king4428 at meat:398 but let me go,7971 that I may hide5641 myself in the field7704 unto the third7992 day at even.6153 cr 6 If thy father1 at all6485 miss6485 me, then say,559 David1732 earnestly7592 asked7592 leave of me that he might run7323 to Bethlehem1035 his city:5892 for there is a yearly3117 sacrifice2077{Or, feast} there for all the family.4940 cr 7 If he say559 thus, It is well;2896 thy servant5650 shall have peace:7965 but if he be very2734 wroth,2734 then be sure3045 that evil7451 is determined3615 by him. cr 8 Therefore thou shalt deal6213 kindly2617 with thy servant;5650 for thou hast brought935 thy servant5650 into a covenant1285 of the LORD3068 with thee: notwithstanding, if there be3426 in me iniquity,5771 slay4191 me thyself; for why shouldest thou bring935 me to thy father?1 cr 9 And Jonathan3083 said,559 Far be it from thee:2486 for if I knew3045 certainly3045 that evil7451 were determined3615 by my father1 to come935 upon thee, then would not I tell5046 it thee? cr 10 Then said559 David1732 to Jonathan,3083 Who shall tell5046 me? or what if thy father1 answer6030 thee roughly?7186 cr

1 Samuel 20:11 And Jonathan3083 said559 unto David,1732 Come,3212 and let us go out3318 into the field.7704 And they went out3318 both8147 of them into the field.7704 cr 12 And Jonathan3083 said559 unto David,1732 O LORD3068 God430 of Israel,3478 when I have sounded2713{Heb. searched} my father1 about to morrow4279 any time,6256 or the third7992 day, and, behold, if there be good2895 toward David,1732 and I then send7971 not unto thee, and shew1540 241 it thee;{Heb. uncover thine ear} cr 13 The LORD3068 do6213 so3541 and much more3254 to Jonathan:3083 but if it please3190 my father1 to do thee evil,7451 then I will shew1540 241 it thee, and send thee away,7971 that thou mayest go1980 in peace:7965 and the LORD3068 be with thee, as he hath been with my father.1 cr 14 And thou shalt not only while yet518 I live2416 shew6213 me the kindness2617 of the LORD,3068 that I die4191 not: cr 15 But also thou shalt not cut off3772 thy kindness2617 from my house1004 for5704 ever:5769 no, not when the LORD3068 hath cut off3772 the enemies341 of David1732 every one376 from the face6440 of the earth.127 cr 16 So Jonathan3083 made3772{Heb. cut} a covenant with the house1004 of David,1732 saying, Let the LORD3068 even require1245 it at the hand3027 of David's1732 enemies.341 cr 17 And Jonathan3083 caused David1732 to swear7650 again,3254 because he loved160 him:{Or, by his love towards him} for he loved157 him as he loved160 his own soul.5315 cr 18 Then Jonathan3083 said559 to David,1732 To morrow4279 is the new moon:2320 and thou shalt be missed,6485 because thy seat4186 will be empty.6485{Heb. missed} cr 19 And when thou hast stayed three days,8027 then thou shalt go down3381 quickly,3966{Heb. greatly: Or, diligently} and come935 to the place4725 where thou didst hide5641 thyself when3117 the business4639 was in hand,{Heb. in the day of the business} and shalt remain3427 by681 the stone68 Ezel.237{Or, that showeth the way} cr 20 And I will shoot3384 three7969 arrows2671 on the side6654 thereof, as though I shot7971 at a mark.4307 cr 21 And, behold, I will send7971 a lad,5288 saying, Go,3212 find out4672 the arrows.2671 If I expressly559 say559 unto the lad,5288 Behold, the arrows2671 are on this side of thee, take3947 them; then come935 thou: for there is peace7965 to thee, and no hurt;1697{Heb. not any thing} as the LORD3068 liveth.2416 cr 22 But if I say559 thus unto the young man,5958 Behold, the arrows2671 are beyond1973 thee; go thy way:3212 for the LORD3068 hath sent thee away.7971 cr 23 And as touching the matter1697 which thou and I have spoken1696 of, behold, the LORD3068 be between thee and me for5704 ever.5769 cr

1 Samuel 20:24 So David1732 hid5641 himself in the field:7704 and when the new moon2320 was come, the king4428 sat him down3427 to eat398 meat.3899 cr 25 And the king4428 sat3427 upon his seat,4186 as at other times,6471 even upon a seat4186 by the wall:7023 and Jonathan3083 arose,6965 and Abner74 sat3427 by Saul's7586 side,6654 and David's1732 place4725 was empty.6485 cr 26 Nevertheless Saul7586 spake1696 not any thing3972 that day:3117 for he thought,559 Something hath befallen4745 him, he is not1115 clean;2889 surely he is not clean.2889 cr 27 And it came to pass on the morrow,4283 which was the second8145 day of the month,2320 that David's1732 place4725 was empty:6485 and Saul7586 said559 unto Jonathan3083 his son,1121 Wherefore cometh935 not the son1121 of Jesse3448 to meat,3899 neither yesterday,8543 nor to day?3117 cr 28 And Jonathan3083 answered6030 Saul,7586 David1732 earnestly7592 asked7592 leave of me5978 to go to Bethlehem:1035 cr 29 And he said,559 Let me go,7971 I pray thee; for our family4940 hath a sacrifice2077 in the city;5892 and my brother,251 he hath commanded6680 me to be there: and now, if I have found4672 favour2580 in thine eyes,5869 let me get away,4422 I pray thee, and see7200 my brethren.251 Therefore he cometh935 not unto the king's4428 table.7979 cr 30 Then Saul's7586 anger639 was kindled2734 against Jonathan,3083 and he said559 unto him, Thou son1121 of the perverse5753 rebellious4780 woman,{Or, thou perverse rebell. Heb. son of perverse rebellion} do not I know3045 that thou hast chosen977 the son1121 of Jesse3448 to thine own confusion,1322 and unto the confusion1322 of thy mother's517 nakedness?6172 cr 31 For as long as3117 the son1121 of Jesse3448 liveth2425 upon the ground,127 thou shalt not be established,3559 nor thy kingdom.4438 Wherefore now send7971 and fetch3947 him unto me, for he shall surely die.1121 4194{Heb. is the son of death} cr 32 And Jonathan3083 answered6030 Saul7586 his father,1 and said559 unto him, Wherefore shall he be slain?4191 what hath he done?6213 cr 33 And Saul7586 cast2904 a javelin2595 at him to smite5221 him: whereby Jonathan3083 knew3045 that it was determined3617 of his father1 to slay4191 David.1732 cr 34 So Jonathan3083 arose6965 from the table7979 in fierce2750 anger,639 and did eat398 no meat3899 the second8145 day3117 of the month:2320 for he was grieved6087 for David,1732 because his father1 had done him shame.3637 cr

1 Samuel 20:35 And it came to pass in the morning,1242 that Jonathan3083 went out3318 into the field7704 at the time appointed4150 with David,1732 and a little6996 lad5288 with him. cr 36 And he said559 unto his lad,5288 Run,7323 find out4672 now the arrows2671 which I shoot.3384 And as the lad5288 ran,7323 he shot3384 an arrow2678 beyond5674 him.{Heb. to pass over him} cr 37 And when the lad5288 was come935 to the place4725 of the arrow2678 which Jonathan3083 had shot,3384 Jonathan3083 cried7121 after310 the lad,5288 and said,559 Is not the arrow2678 beyond1973 thee? cr 38 And Jonathan3083 cried7121 after310 the lad,5288 Make speed,4120 haste,2363 stay5975 not. And Jonathan's3083 lad5288 gathered up3950 the arrows,2671 2678 and came935 to his master.113 cr 39 But the lad5288 knew3045 not any thing:3972 only Jonathan3083 and David1732 knew3045 the matter.1697 cr 40 And Jonathan3083 gave5414 his artillery3627{Heb. instruments} unto his lad,5288{Heb. that was his} and said559 unto him, Go,3212 carry935 them to the city.5892 cr

1 Samuel 20:41 And as soon as the lad5288 was gone,935 David1732 arose6965 out of a place toward681 the south,5045 and fell5307 on his face639 to the ground,776 and bowed7812 himself three7969 times:6471 and they kissed5401 one376 another,7453 and wept1058 one376 with another,7453 until David1732 exceeded.1431 cr 42 And Jonathan3083 said559 to David,1732 Go3212 in peace,7965 forasmuch as we have sworn7650 both8147 of us in the name8034 of the LORD,3068{Or, The LORD be witness of that which, etc.} saying,559 The LORD3068 be between me and thee, and between my seed2233 and thy seed2233 for5704 ever.5769 And he arose6965 and departed:3212 and Jonathan3083 went935 into the city.5892 cr
