¹⁵ And David saw, that Saul went out, that he would seek his life. And David was in the desert of Ziph, in a wood. (And David saw, that Saul went out to seek his life. And David was in the wilderness of Ziph, in a forest.)

¹⁶ And Jonathan, the son of Saul, rose up, and went to David into the wood, and comforted his hands in God. (And Saul’s son Jonathan rose up, and went to David in the forest, and strengthened his hand in God/and encouraged him in the name of God.)

¹⁷ And he said to David, Dread thou not; for the hand of Saul my father shall not find thee, and thou shalt reign on Israel, and I shall be the second to thee; but also Saul my father knoweth this. (And he said to David, Fear not; for the hand of my father Saul shall not find thee, and thou shalt reign upon Israel, and I shall be second to thee; and my father Saul knoweth this.)
