1 Samuel 20:8-10

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁸ Now, be kind to me. After all, you forced me into an agreement with the Lord. If I have committed any crime, kill me yourself. Why bother taking me to your father?”

⁹ Jonathan answered, “That’s unthinkable! If I knew for sure that my father had decided to harm you, I would have told you about it.”

¹⁰ Then David asked, “Who will tell me whether or not your father gives you a harsh answer?”
