1 Samuel 20:2-4

Holman Christian Standard Bible

² Jonathan said to him, “No, you won’t die. Listen, my father doesn’t do anything, great or small, without telling me.^[a] So why would he hide this matter from me? This can’t be true.”

³ But David said, “Your father certainly knows that you have come to look favorably on me. He has said, ‘Jonathan must not know of this, or else he will be grieved.’” David also swore, “As surely as the Lord lives and as you yourself live, there is but a step between me and death.”^(A)

⁴ Jonathan said to David, “Whatever you say, I will do for you.”
