1 Samuel 19:3-5

New King James Version

³ And I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, and I will speak with my father about you. Then what I observe, I will tell ^(A)you.”

⁴ Thus Jonathan ^(B)spoke well of David to Saul his father, and said to him, “Let not the king ^(C)sin against his servant, against David, because he has not sinned against you, and because his works have been very good toward you. ⁵ For he took his ^(D)life in his hands and ^(E)killed the Philistine, and ^(F)the Lord brought about a great deliverance for all Israel. You saw it and rejoiced. ^(G)Why then will you ^(H)sin against innocent blood, to kill David without a cause?”
