1 Samuel 20:11-17

Young's Literal Translation

¹¹ And Jonathan saith unto David, `Come, and we go out into the field;' and they go out both of them into the field.

¹² And Jonathan saith unto David, `Jehovah, God of Israel -- when I search my father, about [this] time to-morrow [or] the third [day], and lo, good [is] towards David, and I do not then send unto thee, and have uncovered thine ear --

¹³ thus doth Jehovah do to Jonathan, and thus doth He add; when the evil concerning thee is good to my father, then I have uncovered thine ear, and sent thee away, and thou hast gone in peace, and Jehovah is with thee, as he was with my father;

¹⁴ and not only while I am alive dost thou do with me the kindness of Jehovah, and I die not,

¹⁵ but thou dost not cut off thy kindness from my house unto the age, nor in Jehovah's cutting off the enemies of David, each one from off the face of the ground.'

¹⁶ And Jonathan covenanteth with the house of David, and Jehovah hath sought [it] from the hand of the enemies of David;

¹⁷ and Jonathan addeth to cause David to swear, because he loveth him, for with the love of his own soul he hath loved him.
