1 Samuel 20:7-9
New Catholic Bible
7 If he says, ‘That is fine,’ then your servant is safe. But if he becomes very angry, you can be sure that he is plotting harm. 8 Deal kindly with your servant, for you have entered into a covenant before the Lord with your servant. If I am guilty, kill me yourself, why should you hand me over to your father?”
9 Jonathan answered, “Never! If I knew for sure that my father was planning to harm you, would I not tell you?”

7 If he says, ‘Very well,’ then your servant is safe.

9 “Never!” Jonathan said. “If I had the least inkling that my father was determined to harm you, wouldn’t I tell you?”
