1 Samuel 20:15-17

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁵ Thou shalt not take away thy kindness from my house for ever, when the Lord shall have rooted out the enemies of David, every one of them from the earth, may he take away Jonathan from his house, and may the Lord require it at the hands of David's enemies.

¹⁶ Jonathan therefore made a covenant with the house of David: and the Lord required it at the hands of David's enemies.

¹⁷ And Jonathan swore again to David, because he loved him: for he loved him as his own soul.
