1 Samuel 20:7-9

Lexham English Bible

⁷ If he says ‘Good,’ it will mean peace for your servant; but if he is very angry, know that he has decided to do me harm.^{[a] 8} So you must show loyal love to your servant, for you have brought your servant into a covenant of Yahweh with you. But if there is guilt in me, then kill me yourself! But why should you bring me to your father?” ⁹ Then Jonathan said, “Far be it from you! For if I know for certain that my father decided evil should come upon you,^[b] would I not have told it to you?”
