1 Samuel 23:16-18

Contemporary English Version

¹⁶ But Jonathan went to see David, and God helped him encourage David. ¹⁷ “Don't be afraid,” Jonathan said. “My father Saul will never get his hands on you. In fact, you're going to be the next king of Israel, and I'll be your highest official. Even my father knows it's true.”

^18 (A) They both promised the Lord that they would always be loyal to each other. Then Jonathan went home, but David stayed at Horesh.
