1 Samuel 19:4-6

Good News Translation

⁴ Jonathan praised David to Saul and said, “Sir, don't do wrong to your servant David. He has never done you any wrong; on the contrary, everything he has done has been a great help to you. ⁵ He risked his life when he killed Goliath, and the Lord won a great victory for Israel. When you saw it, you were glad. Why, then, do you now want to do wrong to an innocent man and kill David for no reason at all?”

⁶ Saul was convinced by what Jonathan said and made a vow in the Lord's name that he would not kill David.
