1 Samuel 19:3-5

English Standard Version

³ And I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, and I will speak to my father about you. And if I learn anything I will tell you.” ⁴ And Jonathan spoke well of David to Saul his father and said to him, “Let not the king ^(A)sin against his servant David, because he has not sinned against you, and because his deeds have brought good to you. ⁵ For ^(B)he took his life in his hand ^(C)and he struck down the Philistine, ^(D)and the Lord worked a great salvation for all Israel. You saw it, and rejoiced. Why then will you sin against ^(E)innocent blood by killing David without cause?”
