1 Samuel 20:15-17
Louis Segond
15 et si je meurs, ne retire jamais ta bonté envers ma maison, pas même lorsque l'Éternel retranchera chacun des ennemis de David de dessus la face de la terre.
16 Car Jonathan a fait alliance avec la maison de David. Que l'Éternel tire vengeance des ennemis de David!
17 Jonathan protesta encore auprès de David de son affection pour lui, car il l'aimait comme son âme.

New King James Version
15 but (A)you shall not [a]cut off your kindness from my [b]house forever, no, not when the Lord has cut off every one of the enemies of David from the face of the earth.” 16 So Jonathan made a covenant with the [c]house of David, saying, (B)“Let the Lord require it at the hand of David’s enemies.”
17 Now Jonathan again caused David to vow, because he loved him; (C)for he loved him as he loved his own soul.
