1 Samuel 20

Webster_Strongs(i)
  1 H1732 And David H1272 [H8799] fled H5121 from Naioth H7414 in Ramah H935 [H8799] , and came H559 [H8799] and said H6440 before H3083 Jonathan H6213 [H8804] , What have I done H5771 ? what is my iniquity H2403 ? and what is my sin H6440 before H1 thy father H1245 [H8764] , that he seeketh H5315 my life?
  2 H559 [H8799] And he said H2486 to him, Far be it from thee H4191 [H8799] ; thou shalt not die H1 : behold, my father H6213 H6213 [H8799] will do H1697 nothing H1419 either great H6996 or small H1540 H241 [H8799] , but that he will show H1 it to me: and why should my father H5641 [H8686] hide H1697 this thing from me? it is not so.
  3 H1732 And David H7650 [H8735] swore H559 [H8799] moreover, and said H1 , Thy father H3045 [H8800] certainly H3045 [H8804] knoweth H4672 [H8804] that I have found H2580 grace H5869 in thy eyes H559 [H8799] ; and he saith H3083 , Let not Jonathan H3045 [H8799] know H6087 [H8735] this, lest he should be grieved H199 : but truly H3068 as the LORD H2416 liveth H5315 , and as thy soul H2416 liveth H6587 , there is but a step H4194 between me and death.
  4 H559 [H8799] Then said H3083 Jonathan H1732 to David H5315 , Whatever thy soul H559 [H8799] desireth H6213 [H8799] , I will even do it for thee.
  5 H1732 And David H559 [H8799] said H3083 to Jonathan H4279 , Behold, to morrow H2320 is the new moon H3427 [H8800] , and I should not fail H3427 [H8799] to sit H4428 with the king H398 [H8800] at the table H7971 [H8765] : but let me go H5641 [H8738] , that I may hide H7704 myself in the field H7992 to the third H6153 day at evening.
  6 H1 If thy father H6485 [H8800] shall at all H6485 [H8799] miss H559 [H8804] me, then say H1732 , David H7592 [H8736] earnestly H7592 [H8738] asked H7323 [H8800] leave of me that he might run H1035 to Bethlehem H5892 his city H3117 : for there is a yearly H2077 sacrifice H4940 there for all the family.
  7 H559 [H8799] If he shall say H2896 thus, It is well H5650 ; thy servant H7965 shall have peace H2734 [H8800] : but if he shall be very H2734 [H8799] angry H3045 [H8798] , then be sure H7451 that evil H3615 [H8804] is determined by him.
  8 H6213 [H8804] Therefore thou shalt deal H2617 kindly H5650 with thy servant H935 [H8689] ; for thou hast brought H5650 thy servant H1285 into a covenant H3068 of the LORD H3426 with thee: however, if there is H5771 in me iniquity H4191 [H8685] , slay H935 [H8686] me thyself; for why shouldest thou bring H1 me to thy father?
  9 H3083 And Jonathan H559 [H8799] said H2486 , Far be it from thee H3045 [H8799] : for if I knew H3045 [H8800] certainly H7451 that evil H3615 [H8804] is determined H1 by my father H935 [H8800] to come H5046 [H8686] upon thee, then would not I tell it thee?
  10 H559 [H8799] Then said H1732 David H3083 to Jonathan H5046 [H8686] , Who shall tell H1 me? or what if thy father H6030 [H8799] shall answer H7186 thee roughly?
  11 H3083 And Jonathan H559 [H8799] said H1732 to David H3212 [H8798] , Come H3318 [H8799] , and let us go out H7704 into the field H3318 [H8799] . And they went out H8147 both H7704 of them into the field.
  12 H3083 And Jonathan H559 [H8799] said H1732 to David H3068 , O LORD H430 God H3478 of Israel H2713 [H8799] , when I have sounded H1 my father H4279 about to morrow H6256 any time H7992 , or the third H2895 [H8804] day, and, behold, if there be good H1732 toward David H7971 [H8799] , and I then send H1540 H241 [H8804] not to thee, and show it thee;
  13 H3068 The LORD H6213 [H8799] do H3541 so H3254 [H8686] and much more H3083 to Jonathan H3190 [H8686] : but if it shall please H1 my father H7451 to do thee evil H1540 H241 [H8804] , then I will show H7971 [H8765] it to thee, and send thee away H1980 [H8804] , that thou mayest go H7965 in peace H3068 : and the LORD H1 be with thee, as he hath been with my father.
  14 H518 And thou shalt not only while yet H2416 I live H6213 [H8799] show H2617 me the kindness H3068 of the LORD H4191 [H8799] , that I may not die:
  15 H3772 [H8686] But also thou shalt not withdraw H2617 thy kindness H1004 from my house H5704 for H5769 ever H3068 : no, not when the LORD H3772 [H8687] hath cut off H341 [H8802] the enemies H1732 of David H376 every one H6440 from the face H127 of the earth.
  16 H3083 So Jonathan H3772 [H8799] made H1004 a covenant with the house H1732 of David H3068 , saying, Let the LORD H1245 [H8765] even require H3027 it at the hand H1732 of David's H341 [H8802] enemies.
  17 H3083 And Jonathan H1732 caused David H7650 [H8687] to swear H3254 [H8686] again H160 , because he loved H157 [H8804] him: for he loved H160 him as he loved H5315 his own soul.
  18 H3083 Then Jonathan H559 [H8799] said H1732 to David H4279 , To morrow H2320 is the new moon H6485 [H8738] : and thou shalt be missed H4186 , because thy seat H6485 [H8735] will be empty.
  19 H8027 [H8765] And when thou hast stayed three days H3381 [H8799] , then thou shalt go down H3966 quickly H935 [H8804] , and come H4725 to the place H5641 [H8738] where thou didst hide H3117 thyself when H4639 the business H3427 [H8804] was in hand, and shalt remain H681 by H68 the stone H237 Ezel.
  20 H3384 [H8686] And I will shoot H7969 three H2671 arrows H6654 on the side H7971 [H8763] of it, as though I shot H4307 at a mark.
  21 H7971 [H8799] And, behold, I will send H5288 a lad H3212 [H8798] , saying, Go H4672 [H8798] , find H2671 the arrows H559 [H8800] . If I expressly H559 [H8799] say H5288 to the lad H2671 , Behold, the arrows H3947 [H8798] are on this side of thee, take H935 [H8798] them; then come H7965 thou: for there is peace H1697 to thee, and no hurt H3068 ; as the LORD H2416 liveth.
  22 H559 [H8799] But if I say H5958 thus to the young man H2671 , Behold, the arrows H1973 are beyond H3212 [H8798] thee; go thy way H3068 : for the LORD H7971 [H8765] hath sent thee away.
  23 H1697 And as to the matter H1696 [H8765] which thou and I have spoken H3068 of, behold, the LORD H5704 be between thee and me for H5769 ever.
  24 H1732 So David H5641 [H8735] hid H7704 himself in the field H2320 : and when the new moon H4428 had come, the king H3427 [H8799] sat down H398 [H8800] to eat H3899 food.
  25 H4428 And the king H3427 [H8799] sat H4186 upon his seat H6471 , as at other times H4186 , even upon a seat H7023 by the wall H3083 : and Jonathan H6965 [H8799] arose H74 , and Abner H3427 [H8799] sat H7586 by Saul's H6654 side H1732 , and David's H4725 place H6485 [H8735] was empty.
  26 H7586 Nevertheless Saul H1696 [H8765] spoke H3972 not any thing H3117 that day H559 [H8804] : for he thought H4745 , Something hath befallen H1115 him, he is not H2889 clean H2889 ; surely he is not clean.
  27 H4283 And it came to pass on the next day H8145 , which was the second H2320 day of the month H1732 , that David's H4725 place H6485 [H8735] was empty H7586 : and Saul H559 [H8799] said H3083 to Jonathan H1121 his son H935 [H8804] , Why cometh H1121 not the son H3448 of Jesse H3899 to eat H8543 , neither yesterday H3117 , nor to day?
  28 H3083 And Jonathan H6030 [H8799] answered H7586 Saul H1732 , David H7592 [H8736] earnestly H7592 [H8738] asked H5978 leave of me H1035 to go to Bethlehem:
  29 H559 [H8799] And he said H7971 [H8761] , Let me go H4940 , I pray thee; for our family H2077 hath a sacrifice H5892 in the city H251 ; and my brother H6680 [H8765] , he hath commanded H4672 [H8804] me to be there: and now, if I have found H2580 favour H5869 in thy eyes H4422 [H8735] , let me get away H7200 [H8799] , I pray thee, and see H251 my brethren H935 [H8804] . Therefore he cometh H4428 not to the king's H7979 table.
  30 H7586 Then Saul's H639 anger H2734 [H8799] was kindled H3083 against Jonathan H559 [H8799] , and he said H1121 to him, Thou son H5753 [H8737] of the perverse H4780 rebellious H3045 [H8804] woman, do not I know H977 [H8802] that thou hast chosen H1121 the son H3448 of Jesse H1322 to thy own shame H1322 , and to the shame H517 of thy mother's H6172 nakedness?
  31 H3117 For as long as H1121 the son H3448 of Jesse H2425 [H8804] liveth H127 upon the earth H3559 [H8735] , thou shalt not be established H4438 , nor thy kingdom H7971 [H8798] . Therefore now send H3947 [H8798] and bring H1121 H4194 him to me, for he shall surely die.
  32 H3083 And Jonathan H6030 [H8799] answered H7586 Saul H1 his father H559 [H8799] , and said H4191 [H8714] to him, Why shall he be slain H6213 [H8804] ? what hath he done?
  33 H7586 And Saul H2904 [H8686] cast H2595 a javelin H5221 [H8687] at him to smite H3083 him: by which Jonathan H3045 [H8799] knew H3617 that it was determined H1 by his father H4191 [H8687] to slay H1732 David.
  34 H3083 So Jonathan H6965 [H8799] arose H7979 from the table H2750 in fierce H639 anger H398 [H8804] , and ate H3899 no food H8145 the second H3117 day H2320 of the month H6087 [H8738] : for he was grieved H1732 for David H1 , because his father H3637 [H8689] had done him shame.
  35 H1242 And it came to pass in the morning H3083 , that Jonathan H3318 [H8799] went out H7704 into the field H4150 at the time appointed H1732 with David H6996 , and a little H5288 lad with him.
  36 H559 [H8799] And he said H5288 to his lad H7323 [H8798] , Run H4672 [H8798] , find H2671 now the arrows H3384 [H8688] which I shoot H5288 . And as the lad H7323 [H8801] ran H3384 [H8804] , he shot H2678 an arrow H5674 [H8687] beyond him.
  37 H5288 And when the lad H935 [H8799] had come H4725 to the place H2678 of the arrow H3083 which Jonathan H3384 [H8804] had shot H3083 , Jonathan H7121 [H8799] cried H310 after H5288 the lad H559 [H8799] , and said H2678 , Is not the arrow H1973 beyond thee?
  38 H3083 And Jonathan H7121 [H8799] cried H310 after H5288 the lad H4120 , Make speed H2363 [H8798] , haste H5975 [H8799] , stay H3083 not. And Jonathan's H5288 lad H3950 [H8762] gathered up H2671 H2678 [H8675] the arrows H935 [H8799] , and came H113 to his master.
  39 H5288 But the lad H3045 [H8804] knew H3972 not any thing H3083 : only Jonathan H1732 and David H3045 [H8804] knew H1697 the matter.
  40 H3083 And Jonathan H5414 [H8799] gave H3627 his weapons H5288 to his lad H559 [H8799] , and said H3212 [H8798] to him, Go H935 [H8685] , carry H5892 them to the city.
  41 H5288 And as soon as the lad H935 [H8802] was gone H1732 , David H6965 [H8804] arose H681 out of a place toward H5045 the south H5307 [H8799] , and fell H639 on his face H776 to the ground H7812 [H8691] , and bowed H7969 himself three H6471 times H5401 [H8799] : and they kissed H376 one H7453 another H1058 [H8799] , and wept H376 one H7453 with another H1732 , but David H1431 [H8689] more so.
  42 H3083 And Jonathan H559 [H8799] said H1732 to David H3212 [H8798] , Go H7965 in peace H7650 [H8738] , forasmuch as we have sworn H8147 both H8034 of us in the name H3068 of the LORD H559 [H8800] , saying H3068 , The LORD H2233 be between me and thee, and between my seed H2233 and thy seed H5704 for H5769 ever H6965 [H8799] . And he arose H3212 [H8799] and departed H3083 : and Jonathan H935 [H8802] went H5892 into the city.
