1 Samuel 20:12-17

20:12

And Jonathan
<03083>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto David
<01732>_,

O LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

when I have sounded
<02713> (8799)

my father
<01>

about to morrow
<04279>

any time
<06256>_,

[or] the third
<07992>

[day], and, behold, [if there be] good
<02895> (8804)

toward David
<01732>_,

and I then send
<07971> (8799)

not unto thee, and shew
<01540> (8804) <0241>

it thee; {sounded: Heb. searched} {shew...: Heb. uncover thine ear}

20:13

The LORD
<03068>

do
<06213> (8799)

so
<03541>

and much more
<03254> (8686)

to Jonathan
<03083>_:

but if it please
<03190> (8686)

my father
<01>

[to do] thee evil
<07451>_,

then I will shew
<01540> (8804) <0241>

it thee, and send thee away
<07971> (8765)_,

that thou mayest go
<01980> (8804)

in peace
<07965>_:

and the LORD
<03068>

be with thee, as he hath been with my father
<01>_.

{shew...: Heb. uncover thine ear}

20:14

And thou shalt not only while yet
<0518>

I live
<02416>

shew
<06213> (8799)

me the kindness
<02617>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

that I die
<04191> (8799)

not:

20:15

But [also] thou shalt not cut off
<03772> (8686)

thy kindness
<02617>

from my house
<01004>

for
<05704>

ever
<05769>_:

no, not when the LORD
<03068>

hath cut off
<03772> (8687)

the enemies
<0341> (8802)

of David
<01732>

every one
<0376>

from the face
<06440>

of the earth
<0127>_.

20:16

So Jonathan
<03083>

made
<03772> (8799)

[a covenant] with the house
<01004>

of David
<01732>_,

[saying], Let the LORD
<03068>

even require
<01245> (8765)

[it] at the hand
<03027>

of David's
<01732>

enemies
<0341> (8802)_.

{made: Heb. cut}

20:17

And Jonathan
<03083>

caused David
<01732>

to swear
<07650> (8687)

again
<03254> (8686)_,

because he loved
<0160>

him: for he loved
<0157> (8804)

him as he loved
<0160>

his own soul
<05315>_.

{because...: or, by his love toward him}
