1 Samuel 20:13

20:13 But if my father intends to do you harm, may the Lord do all this and more to Jonathan, if I don’t let you know ¹  and send word to you so you can go safely on your way. ²  May the Lord be with you, as he was with my father.

1 Samuel 20:42

20:42 Jonathan said to David, “Go in peace, for the two of us have sworn together in the name of the Lord saying, ‘The Lord will be between me and you and between my descendants and your descendants forever.’”

David Goes to Nob

(21:1)

³ Then David ⁴  got up and left, while Jonathan went back to the city.

1 Samuel 30:21

30:21 Then David approached the two hundred men who had been too exhausted to go with him, ⁵  those whom they had left at the Wadi Besor. They went out to meet David and the people who were with him. When David approached the people, he asked how they were doing.

[20:13]  ¹ tn Heb “uncover your ear.”

[20:13]  ² tn Heb “in peace.”

[20:42]  ³ sn Beginning with 20:42b, the verse numbers through 21:15 in the English Bible differ from the verse numbers in the Hebrew text (BHS), with 20:42b ET = 21:1 HT, 21:1 ET = 21:2 HT, 21:2 ET = 21:3 HT, etc., through 21:15 ET = 21:16 HT. With 22:1 the verse numbers in the ET and HT are again the same.

[20:42]  ⁴ tn Heb “he”; the referent (David) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[30:21]  ⁵ tn Heb “David.” The pronoun (“him”) has been substituted for the proper name in the translation for stylistic reasons.
