16 ¶ And Jonathan Saul’s son arose and went to David into the wood, and comforted [a]him in God,
17 And said unto him, Fear not: for the hand of Saul my father shall not find thee, and thou shalt be [b]king over Israel, and I shall be next unto thee: and also Saul my father knoweth it.
18 So they twain made a covenant before the Lord: and David did remain in the wood: but Jonathan went to his house.
