1 Samuel 20:8-17 Therefore you shall deal kindly with your servant; for you have brought your servant into a covenant of the Lord with you: nevertheless, if there be in me iniquity, kill me yourself; for why should you bring me to your father?

CKJV_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

8 H6213 Therefore you shall deal H2617 kindly H5650 with your servant; H935 for you have brought H5650 your servant H1285 into a covenant H3068 of the Lord H3426 with you: nevertheless, if there be H5771 in me iniquity, H4191 kill H935 me yourself; for why should you bring H1 me to your father?

9 H3083 And Jonathan H559 said, H2486 Far be it from you: H3045 for if I knew H3045 certainly H7451 that evil H3615 were determined H1 by my father H935 to come H5046 upon you, then would not I tell it you?

10 H559 Then said H1732 David H3083 to Jonathan, H5046 Who shall tell H1 me? or what if your father H6030 answer H7186 you roughly?

11 H3083 And Jonathan H559 said H1732 unto David, H3212 Come, H3318 and let us go out H7704 into the field. H3318 And they went out H8147 both H7704 of them into the field.

12 H3083 And Jonathan H559 said H1732 unto David, H3068 O Lord H430 God H3478 of Israel, H2713 when I have sounded H1 my father H4279 about to morrow H6256 any time, H7992 or the third H2895 day, and, behold, if there be good H1732 toward David, H7971 and I then send H1540 not unto you, and show it you;

13 H3068 The Lord H6213 do H3541 so H3254 and much more H3083 to Jonathan: H3190 but if it please H1 my father H7451 to do you evil, H1540 then I will show H7971 it you, and send you away, H1980 that you may go H7965 in peace: H3068 and the Lord H1 be with you, as he has been with my father.

14 H518 And you shall not only while yet H2416 I live H6213 show H2617 me the kindness H3068 of the Lord, H4191 that I die not:

15 H3772 But also you shall not cut off H2617 your kindness H1004 from my house H5704 for H5769 ever: H3068 no, not when the Lord H3772 has cut off H341 the enemies H1732 of David H376 every one H6440 from the face H127 of the earth.

16 H3083 So Jonathan H3772 made H1004 a covenant with the house H1732 of David, H3068 saying, Let the Lord H1245 even require H3027 it at the hand H1732 of David's H341 enemies.

17 H3083 And Jonathan H1732 caused David H7650 to swear H3254 again, H160 because he loved H157 him: for he loved H160 him as he loved H5315 his own soul.
