1 Samuel 23:16-18

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁶ And Jonathan the son of Saul arose, and went to David into the wood, and strengthened his hands in God: and he said to him:

¹⁷ Fear not: for the hand of my father Saul shall not find thee, and thou shalt reign over Israel, and I shall be next to thee, yea, and my father knoweth this.

¹⁸ And the two made a covenant before the Lord: and David abode in the wood: but Jonathan returned to his house.
