1 Samuel 20:8-10

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁸ Therefore, thou shalt deal in mercy with thy slave, for thou hast brought thy slave into a covenant of the LORD with thee; notwithstanding, if there is iniquity in me, slay me thyself, for why should thou bring me to thy father?

⁹ ¶ And Jonathan said, Far be it from thee, for if I knew certainly that evil were determined by my father to come upon thee, then would I not be obliged to show it to thee?

¹⁰ Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me? Or what if thy father answers thee roughly?
