1 Samuel 20:14-17

Rotherham(i) 14 And, not only while I yet live, shalt thou deal with me in the lovingkindness of Yahweh, that I die not: 15 but thou shalt not cut off thy lovingkindness from my house, unto times age–abiding,––no! not when Yahweh hath cut off the enemies of David, every one from off the face of the ground. 16 Thus Jonathan solemnised a covenant with the house of David [saying], ––So let Yahweh require it, at the hand of the enemies of David. 17 And again Jonathan sware unto David, by his love to him,––for, as he loved his own soul, so loved he him.
