Rotherham(i)
17 And he said unto David, More righteous, art thou than I, for, thou, hast requited me, good, but, I, have requited thee, evil.
18 Thou, then, hast told today, how thou hast dealt with me, for good,––how, when Yahweh had surrendered me into thy hand, thou didst not slay me.
19 Yet, when a man findeth his enemy, will he let him get easily away? Yahweh, then, give thee, good, reward for what, this day, thou hast done unto me.
20 Now, therefore, lo! I know that thou, shalt indeed become king,––and that the kingdom of Israel, shall be established in thy hand.
21 Now, therefore, swear unto me by Yahweh, that thou wilt not eat off my seed, after me,––and wilt not destroy my name out of the house my father.
22 So David sware unto Saul,––and Saul departed unto his own house, but, David and his men, went up on the stronghold.
