1 Samuel 20:8-10

Modern English Version

⁸ Therefore deal kindly with your servant, for you have brought your servant into a covenant of the Lord with you. But if there is any guilt in me, kill me yourself. For why should you bring me to your father?”

⁹ Then Jonathan said, “Far be it from you. For if I indeed knew that my father had determined evil against you, would I not tell it you?”

¹⁰ David said to Jonathan, “Who will tell me? Or what if your father answers you roughly?”
