1 Samuel 23:16-18

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹⁶ Then Jonathan, Saul’s son, arose and went to David in the woods and strengthened his hand in God.

¹⁷ And he said unto him, Do not fear, for the hand of Saul, my father, shall not find thee, and thou shalt be king over Israel, and I shall be next unto thee; and even my father knows this.

¹⁸ And the two made a covenant before the LORD, and David abode in the woods, and Jonathan returned to his house.
