12 And Jonathan will say to David, Jehovah, God of Israel when I shall search out my father about this time to-morrow, the third day, and behold, good to David, and I shall not then send to thee, and uncover thine ear.
13 Thus shall Jehovah do to Jonathan, and thus shall he add; for it shall be good to my father with evil to thee, and I uncovered thine ear and sent thee away, and thou wentest in peace: and Jehovah will be with thee as he was with my father.
14 And not only while yet I live and wilt thou not do the mercy of Jehovah with me, and I shall not die.
15 And thou shalt not cut off thy mercy from my house, even forever: and not in Jehovah's cutting off the enemies of David a man from the face of the earth.
16 And Jonathan will cut out with the house of David, and Jehovah sought out from the hand of David's enemies.
17 And Jonathan will add to cause David to swear in his loving him; as loving his soul he loved him.
