And David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, What have I done? what is mine iniquity? and what is my sin before thy father, that he seeketh my life? 2Pe 2:91Jn 3:212Co 1:121Sa 12:31Sa 19:19-241Sa 23:26-281Sa 24:111Sa 24:17 And he said unto him, God forbid; thou shalt not die: behold, my father will do nothing either great or small, but that he will shew it me: and why should my father hide this thing from me? it is not so. 1 1Sa 9:15Jhn 17:8Gen 44:71Sa 14:451Sa 20:12Isa 50:5Jos 22:29Jos 24:16 And David sware moreover, and said, Thy father certainly knoweth that I have found grace in thine eyes; and he saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved: but truly as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, there is but a step between me and death. 1Sa 25:261Sa 27:12Ki 2:6Deu 6:131Sa 1:262Ki 2:22Ki 2:41Co 15:30-31 Then said Jonathan unto David, Whatsoever thy soul desireth, I will even do it for thee. 2 3 And David said unto Jonathan, Behold, to morrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king at meat: but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field unto the third day at even. Num 10:101Sa 19:2Num 28:11Psa 81:31Sa 20:191Sa 20:6Act 17:14Col 2:16 If thy father at all miss me, then say, David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Beth-lehem his city: for there is a yearly sacrifice there for all the family. 4 1Sa 17:581Sa 9:121Sa 16:2-5Deu 12:5Jhn 7:42 If he say thus, It is well; thy servant shall have peace: but if he be very wroth, then be sure that evil is determined by him. 1Sa 25:17Est 7:71Sa 20:92Sa 17:4Deu 1:23 Therefore thou shalt deal kindly with thy servant; for thou hast brought thy servant into a covenant of the LORD with thee: notwithstanding, if there be in me iniquity, slay me thyself; for why shouldest thou bring me to thy father? 1Sa 18:32Sa 14:321Sa 23:181Ch 12:171Sa 20:16Act 25:11Gen 24:49Gen 47:29
And Jonathan said, Far be it from thee: for if I knew certainly that evil were determined by my father to come upon thee, then would not I tell it thee? 1Sa 19:21Sa 20:381Sa 20:42 Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me? or what if thy father answer thee roughly? 1Ki 12:131Sa 20:30-341Sa 25:101Sa 25:141Sa 25:17Gen 42:30Gen 42:7Pro 18:23
¶ And Jonathan said unto David, Come, and let us go out into the field. And they went out both of them into the field. And Jonathan said unto David, O LORD God of Israel, when I have sounded my father about to morrow any time, or the third day, and, behold, if there be good toward David, and I then send not unto thee, and shew it thee; 5 6 Job 31:4Jos 22:22Pro 20:5Pro 25:2-3Psa 139:1-4Psa 17:3 The LORD do so and much more to Jonathan: but if it please my father to do thee evil, then I will shew it thee, and send thee away, that thou mayest go in peace: and the LORD be with thee, as he hath been with my father. 7 1Ch 22:111Ch 22:161Sa 17:37Jos 1:5Rut 1:171Sa 3:171Ki 19:21Ki 20:10 And thou shalt not only while yet I live shew me the kindness of the LORD, that I die not: 2Sa 9:3Eph 5:1-2 But also thou shalt not cut off thy kindness from my house for ever: no, not when the LORD hath cut off the enemies of David every one from the face of the earth. 2Sa 21:71Sa 24:212Sa 9:1-7 So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, Let the LORD even require it at the hand of David’s enemies. 8 1Sa 25:221Sa 18:31Sa 31:22Sa 21:82Sa 4:7-8Gen 15:18 And Jonathan caused David to swear again, because he loved him: for he loved him as he loved his own soul. 9 Pro 18:241Sa 18:11Sa 18:32Sa 1:26Deu 13:6 Then Jonathan said to David, To morrow is the new moon: and thou shalt be missed, because thy seat will be empty. 10 1Sa 20:251Sa 20:5 And when thou hast stayed three days, then thou shalt go down quickly, and come to the place where thou didst hide thyself when the business was in hand, and shalt remain by the stone Ezel. 11 13 12 1Sa 19:21Sa 20:5 And I will shoot three arrows on the side thereof, as though I shot at a mark. And, behold, I will send a lad, saying, Go, find out the arrows. If I expressly say unto the lad, Behold, the arrows are on this side of thee, take them; then come thou: for there is peace to thee, and no hurt; as the LORD liveth. 14 Amo 8:14Jer 12:16Jer 4:2Jer 5:2 But if I say thus unto the young man, Behold, the arrows are beyond thee; go thy way: for the LORD hath sent thee away. 1Sa 20:37 And as touching the matter which thou and I have spoken of, behold, the LORD be between thee and me for ever. 1Sa 20:14-151Sa 20:42Gen 31:50Gen 16:5
¶ So David hid himself in the field: and when the new moon was come, the king sat him down to eat meat. Isa 1:11-15Pro 15:17Pro 17:1Pro 21:3Pro 4:17Psa 50:16-21Jhn 18:28Pro 21:27 And the king sat upon his seat, as at other times, even upon a seat by the wall: and Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul’s side, and David’s place was empty. 1Sa 20:18Jdg 16:20 Nevertheless Saul spake not any thing that day: for he thought, Something hath befallen him, he is not clean; surely he is not clean. Lev 15:5Lev 11:24Lev 11:271Sa 16:5Lev 11:31Lev 11:40Lev 15:16-17Lev 15:19-21 And it came to pass on the morrow, which was the second day of the month, that David’s place was empty: and Saul said unto Jonathan his son, Wherefore cometh not the son of Jesse to meat, neither yesterday, nor to day? 1Sa 19:151Pe 2:41Sa 18:111Sa 19:9-101Sa 22:13-141Sa 22:7-91Sa 25:10Isa 11:1-2 And Jonathan answered Saul, David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Beth-lehem: 1Sa 20:6 And he said, Let me go, I pray thee; for our family hath a sacrifice in the city; and my brother, he hath commanded me to be there: and now, if I have found favour in thine eyes, let me get away, I pray thee, and see my brethren. Therefore he cometh not unto the king’s table. 1Sa 17:28 Then Saul’s anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said unto him, Thou son of the perverse rebellious woman, do not I know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thine own confusion, and unto the confusion of thy mother’s nakedness? 15 Pro 21:24Jas 1:19-20Eph 4:31Eph 6:4Job 5:2Mat 5:22Pro 14:29Pro 15:2 For as long as the son of Jesse liveth upon the ground, thou shalt not be established, nor thy kingdom. Wherefore now send and fetch him unto me, for he shall surely die. 16 1Sa 19:61Sa 20:81Sa 19:11-151Sa 26:162Sa 19:28Psa 79:11 And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said unto him, Wherefore shall he be slain? what hath he done? Mat 27:231Sa 19:5Gen 31:36Luk 23:221Sa 18:111Sa 19:10-111Sa 20:7Ecc 7:9 And Saul cast a javelin at him to smite him: whereby Jonathan knew that it was determined of his father to slay David. 1Sa 18:111Sa 20:71Sa 19:10 So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and did eat no meat the second day of the month: for he was grieved for David, because his father had done him shame. Ecc 7:20Eph 4:26Mrk 3:5
¶ And it came to pass in the morning, that Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little lad with him. 1Sa 20:192Sa 20:5 And he said unto his lad, Run, find out now the arrows which I shoot. And as the lad ran, he shot an arrow beyond him. 17 1Sa 20:20-22 And when the lad was come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the lad, and said, Is not the arrow beyond thee? 1Sa 20:22 And Jonathan cried after the lad, Make speed, haste, stay not. And Jonathan’s lad gathered up the arrows, and came to his master. Luk 17:31-32Mat 24:16-18Mrk 13:14-16Pro 6:4-5Psa 55:6-9 But the lad knew not any thing: only Jonathan and David knew the matter. And Jonathan gave his artillery unto his lad, and said unto him, Go, carry them to the city. 18 19
¶ And as soon as the lad was gone, David arose out of a place toward the south, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times: and they kissed one another, and wept one with another, until David exceeded. 1Sa 18:3Gen 29:111Sa 10:11Sa 25:232Sa 1:262Sa 19:392Sa 9:6Act 20:37 And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, forasmuch as we have sworn both of us in the name of the LORD, saying, The LORD be between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed for ever. And he arose and departed: and Jonathan went into the city. 20 1Sa 1:171Sa 23:181Sa 20:22-231Sa 20:15Act 16:36Luk 7:50Num 6:26
