1 Samuel 23:16-18

New Catholic Bible

¹⁶ Jonathan, Saul’s son, arose and went to David in Horesh and encouraged him in God. ¹⁷ This is what he said to him, “Do not be afraid, for the hand of Saul, my father, is not going to find you. You will be the king over Israel, and I will be next to you. Even my father Saul knows that.” ¹⁸ The two of them made a covenant before the Lord. David stayed in the woods, and Jonathan returned home.
