1 Samuel 23:16-18

Amplified Bible

¹⁶ And Jonathan, Saul’s son, arose and went [into the woods] to David at Horesh, and ^[a]encouraged him in God. ¹⁷ He said to him, “Do not be afraid; the hand of my father Saul will not find you. You will be king over Israel and I will be second in command to you; my father Saul knows this too.” ¹⁸ So the two of them made a covenant before the Lord; and David stayed [in the woods] at Horesh and Jonathan went to his house.
