1 Samuel 20

1

And Davidh1732 fledh1272h8799 from Naiothh5121 in Ramahh7414, and cameh935h8799 and saidh559h8799 beforeh6440 Jonathanh3083, What have I doneh6213h8804? what is mine iniquityh5771? and what is my sinh2403 beforeh6440 thy fatherh1, that he seekethh1245h8764 my lifeh5315?

2

And he saidh559h8799 unto him, God forbidh2486; thou shalt not dieh4191h8799: behold, my fatherh1 will doh6213h8799h8675h6213h8804 nothingh1697 either greath1419 or smallh6996, but that he will shewh1540h8799h241 it me: and why should my fatherh1 hideh5641h8686 this thingh1697 from me? it is not so . shew...: Heb. uncover mine ear

3

And Davidh1732 swareh7650h8735 moreover, and saidh559h8799, Thy fatherh1 certainlyh3045h8800 knowethh3045h8804 that I have foundh4672h8804 graceh2580 in thine eyesh5869; and he saithh559h8799, Let not Jonathanh3083 knowh3045h8799 this, lest he be grievedh6087h8735: but trulyh199 as the LORDh3068 livethh2416, and as thy soulh5315 livethh2416, there is but a steph6587 between me and deathh4194.

4

Then saidh559h8799 Jonathanh3083 unto Davidh1732, Whatsoever thy soulh5315 desirethh559h8799, I will even doh6213h8799 it for thee. Whatsoever...: or, Say what is thy mind and I will do, etc
desireth: Heb. speaketh, or, thinketh

5

And Davidh1732 saidh559h8799 unto Jonathanh3083, Behold, to morrowh4279 is the new moonh2320, and I should not failh3427h8800 to sith3427h8799 with the kingh4428 at meath398h8800: but let me goh7971h8765, that I may hideh5641h8738 myself in the fieldh7704 unto the thirdh7992 day at evenh6153.

6

If thy fatherh1 at allh6485h8800 missh6485h8799 me, then sayh559h8804, Davidh1732 earnestlyh7592h8736 askedh7592h8738 leave of me that he might runh7323h8800 to Bethlehemh1035 his cityh5892: for there is a yearlyh3117 sacrificeh2077 there for all the familyh4940. sacrifice: or, feast

7

If he sayh559h8799 thus, It is wellh2896; thy servanth5650 shall have peaceh7965: but if he be veryh2734h8800 wrothh2734h8799, then be sureh3045h8798 that evilh7451 is determinedh3615h8804 by him.

8

Therefore thou shalt dealh6213h8804 kindlyh2617 with thy servanth5650; for thou hast broughth935h8689 thy servanth5650 into a covenanth1285 of the LORDh3068 with thee: notwithstanding, if there beh3426 in me iniquityh5771, slayh4191h8685 me thyself; for why shouldest thou bringh935h8686 me to thy fatherh1?

9

And Jonathanh3083 saidh559h8799, Far be it from theeh2486: for if I knewh3045h8799 certainlyh3045h8800 that evilh7451 were determinedh3615h8804 by my fatherh1 to comeh935h8800 upon thee, then would not I tellh5046h8686 it thee?

10

Then saidh559h8799 Davidh1732 to Jonathanh3083, Who shall tellh5046h8686 me? or what if thy fatherh1 answerh6030h8799 thee roughlyh7186?

11

And Jonathanh3083 saidh559h8799 unto Davidh1732, Comeh3212h8798, and let us go outh3318h8799 into the fieldh7704. And they went outh3318h8799 bothh8147 of them into the fieldh7704.

12

And Jonathanh3083 saidh559h8799 unto Davidh1732, O LORDh3068 Godh430 of Israelh3478, when I have soundedh2713h8799 my fatherh1 about to morrowh4279 any timeh6256, or the thirdh7992 day , and, behold, if there be goodh2895h8804 toward Davidh1732, and I then sendh7971h8799 not unto thee, and shewh1540h8804h241 it thee; sounded: Heb. searched
shew...: Heb. uncover thine ear

13

The LORDh3068 doh6213h8799 soh3541 and much moreh3254h8686 to Jonathanh3083: but if it pleaseh3190h8686 my fatherh1 to do thee evilh7451, then I will shewh1540h8804h241 it thee, and send thee awayh7971h8765, that thou mayest goh1980h8804 in peaceh7965: and the LORDh3068 be with thee, as he hath been with my fatherh1. shew...: Heb. uncover thine ear

14

And thou shalt not only while yeth518 I liveh2416 shewh6213h8799 me the kindnessh2617 of the LORDh3068, that I dieh4191h8799 not:

15

But also thou shalt not cut offh3772h8686 thy kindnessh2617 from my househ1004 forh5704 everh5769: no, not when the LORDh3068 hath cut offh3772h8687 the enemiesh341h8802 of Davidh1732 every oneh376 from the faceh6440 of the earthh127.

16

So Jonathanh3083 madeh3772h8799 a covenant with the househ1004 of Davidh1732, saying , Let the LORDh3068 even requireh1245h8765 it at the handh3027 of David'sh1732 enemiesh341h8802. made: Heb. cut

17

And Jonathanh3083 caused Davidh1732 to swearh7650h8687 againh3254h8686, because he lovedh160 him: for he lovedh157h8804 him as he lovedh160 his own soulh5315. because...: or, by his love toward him

18

Then Jonathanh3083 saidh559h8799 to Davidh1732, To morrowh4279 is the new moonh2320: and thou shalt be missedh6485h8738, because thy seath4186 will be emptyh6485h8735. empty: Heb. missed

19

And when thou hast stayed three daysh8027h8765, then thou shalt go downh3381h8799 quicklyh3966, and comeh935h8804 to the placeh4725 where thou didst hideh5641h8738 thyself whenh3117 the businessh4639 was in hand , and shalt remainh3427h8804 byh681 the stoneh68 Ezelh237. quickly: or, diligently: Heb. greatly
when the...: Heb. in the day of the business
Ezel: or, that sheweth the way

20

And I will shooth3384h8686 threeh7969 arrowsh2671 on the sideh6654 thereof , as though I shoth7971h8763 at a markh4307.

21

And, behold, I will sendh7971h8799 a ladh5288, saying , Goh3212h8798, find outh4672h8798 the arrowsh2671. If I expresslyh559h8800 sayh559h8799 unto the ladh5288, Behold, the arrowsh2671 are on this side of thee, takeh3947h8798 them; then comeh935h8798 thou: for there is peaceh7965 to thee, and no hurth1697; as the LORDh3068 livethh2416. no hurt: Heb. not any thing

22

But if I sayh559h8799 thus unto the young manh5958, Behold, the arrowsh2671 are beyondh1973 thee; go thy wayh3212h8798: for the LORDh3068 hath sent thee awayh7971h8765.

23

And as touching the matterh1697 which thou and I have spokenh1696h8765 of, behold, the LORDh3068 be between thee and me forh5704 everh5769.

24

So Davidh1732 hidh5641h8735 himself in the fieldh7704: and when the new moonh2320 was come, the kingh4428 sat him downh3427h8799 to eath398h8800 meath3899.

25

And the kingh4428 sath3427h8799 upon his seath4186, as at other timesh6471, even upon a seath4186 by the wallh7023: and Jonathanh3083 aroseh6965h8799, and Abnerh74 sath3427h8799 by Saul'sh7586 sideh6654, and David'sh1732 placeh4725 was emptyh6485h8735.

26

Nevertheless Saulh7586 spakeh1696h8765 not any thingh3972 that dayh3117: for he thoughth559h8804, Something hath befallenh4745 him, he is noth1115 cleanh2889; surely he is not cleanh2889.

27

And it came to pass on the morrowh4283, which was the secondh8145 day of the monthh2320, that David'sh1732 placeh4725 was emptyh6485h8735: and Saulh7586 saidh559h8799 unto Jonathanh3083 his sonh1121, Wherefore comethh935h8804 not the sonh1121 of Jesseh3448 to meath3899, neither yesterdayh8543, nor to dayh3117?

28

And Jonathanh3083 answeredh6030h8799 Saulh7586, Davidh1732 earnestlyh7592h8736 askedh7592h8738 leave of meh5978 to go to Bethlehemh1035:

29

And he saidh559h8799, Let me goh7971h8761, I pray thee; for our familyh4940 hath a sacrificeh2077 in the cityh5892; and my brotherh251, he hath commandedh6680h8765 me to be there : and now, if I have foundh4672h8804 favourh2580 in thine eyesh5869, let me get awayh4422h8735, I pray thee, and seeh7200h8799 my brethrenh251. Therefore he comethh935h8804 not unto the king'sh4428 tableh7979.

30

Then Saul'sh7586 angerh639 was kindledh2734h8799 against Jonathanh3083, and he saidh559h8799 unto him, Thou sonh1121 of the perverseh5753h8737 rebellioush4780 woman , do not I knowh3045h8804 that thou hast chosenh977h8802 the sonh1121 of Jesseh3448 to thine own confusionh1322, and unto the confusionh1322 of thy mother'sh517 nakednessh6172? Thou...: or, Thou perverse rebel: Heb. Son of perverse rebellion

31

For as long ash3117 the sonh1121 of Jesseh3448 livethh2425h8804 upon the groundh127, thou shalt not be establishedh3559h8735, nor thy kingdomh4438. Wherefore now sendh7971h8798 and fetchh3947h8798 him unto me, for he shall surely dieh1121h4194. shall...: Heb. is the son of death

32

And Jonathanh3083 answeredh6030h8799 Saulh7586 his fatherh1, and saidh559h8799 unto him, Wherefore shall he be slainh4191h8714? what hath he doneh6213h8804?

33

And Saulh7586 casth2904h8686 a javelinh2595 at him to smiteh5221h8687 him: whereby Jonathanh3083 knewh3045h8799 that it was determinedh3617 of his fatherh1 to slayh4191h8687 Davidh1732.

34

So Jonathanh3083 aroseh6965h8799 from the tableh7979 in fierceh2750 angerh639, and did eath398h8804 no meath3899 the secondh8145 dayh3117 of the monthh2320: for he was grievedh6087h8738 for Davidh1732, because his fatherh1 had done him shameh3637h8689.

35

And it came to pass in the morningh1242, that Jonathanh3083 went outh3318h8799 into the fieldh7704 at the time appointedh4150 with Davidh1732, and a littleh6996 ladh5288 with him.

36

And he saidh559h8799 unto his ladh5288, Runh7323h8798, find outh4672h8798 now the arrowsh2671 which I shooth3384h8688. And as the ladh5288 ranh7323h8801, he shoth3384h8804 an arrowh2678 beyondh5674h8687 him. beyond...: Heb. to pass over him

37

And when the ladh5288 was comeh935h8799 to the placeh4725 of the arrowh2678 which Jonathanh3083 had shoth3384h8804, Jonathanh3083 criedh7121h8799 afterh310 the ladh5288, and saidh559h8799, Is not the arrowh2678 beyondh1973 thee?

38

And Jonathanh3083 criedh7121h8799 afterh310 the ladh5288, Make speedh4120, hasteh2363h8798, stayh5975h8799 not. And Jonathan'sh3083 ladh5288 gathered uph3950h8762 the arrowsh2671h8675h2678, and cameh935h8799 to his masterh113.

39

But the ladh5288 knewh3045h8804 not any thingh3972: only Jonathanh3083 and Davidh1732 knewh3045h8804 the matterh1697.

40

And Jonathanh3083 gaveh5414h8799 his artilleryh3627 unto his ladh5288, and saidh559h8799 unto him, Goh3212h8798, carryh935h8685 them to the cityh5892. artillery: Heb. instruments
his lad: Heb. the lad that was his

41

And as soon as the ladh5288 was goneh935h8802, Davidh1732 aroseh6965h8804 out of a place towardh681 the southh5045, and fellh5307h8799 on his faceh639 to the groundh776, and bowedh7812h8691 himself threeh7969 timesh6471: and they kissedh5401h8799 oneh376 anotherh7453, and wepth1058h8799 oneh376 with anotherh7453, until Davidh1732 exceededh1431h8689.

42

And Jonathanh3083 saidh559h8799 to Davidh1732, Goh3212h8798 in peaceh7965, forasmuch as we have swornh7650h8738 bothh8147 of us in the nameh8034 of the LORDh3068, sayingh559h8800, The LORDh3068 be between me and thee, and between my seedh2233 and thy seedh2233 forh5704 everh5769. And he aroseh6965h8799 and departedh3212h8799: and Jonathanh3083 wenth935h8802 into the cityh5892. forasmuch...: or, the LORD be witness of that which etc
