1 Samuel 20:8-10

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁸ Deal mercifully then with thy servant: for thou hast brought me thy servant into a covenant of the Lord with thee. But if there be any iniquity in me, do thou kill me, and bring me not in to thy father.

⁹ And Jonathan said: Far be this from thee: for if I should certainly know that evil is determined by my father against thee, I could do no otherwise than tell thee.

¹⁰ And David answered Jonathan: Who shall bring me word, if thy father should answer thee harshly concerning me?
