1 Samuel 20:2

NETBible	Jonathan¹ said to him, “By no means are you going to die! My father does nothing² large or small without making me aware of it.³ Why would my father hide this matter from me? It just won’t happen!”
NIV © biblegateway 1Sa 20:2	"Never!" Jonathan replied. "You are not going to die! Look, my father doesn’t do anything, great or small, without confiding in me. Why should he hide this from me? It’s not so!"
NASB © biblegateway 1Sa 20:2	He said to him, "Far from it, you shall not die. Behold, my father does nothing either great or small without disclosing it to me. So why should my father hide this thing from me? It is not so!"
NLT © biblegateway 1Sa 20:2	"That’s not true!" Jonathan protested. "I’m sure he’s not planning any such thing, for he always tells me everything he’s going to do, even the little things. I know he wouldn’t hide something like this from me. It just isn’t so!"
MSG © biblegateway 1Sa 20:2	"Nothing," said Jonathan. "You've done nothing wrong. And you're not going to die. Really, you're not! My father tells me everything. He does nothing, whether big or little, without confiding in me. So why would he do this behind my back? It can't be."
BBE © SABDAweb 1Sa 20:2	And he said to him, Far be the thought: you will not be put to death: see, my father does nothing, great or small, without giving me word of it: would he keep this secret from me? It is not so.

NET Notes

¹tn Heb “he”; the referent (Jonathan) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

²tc The translation follows the Qere, many medieval Hebrew mss, and the ancient versions in reading “he will not do,” rather than the Kethib of the MT (“do to him”).

³tn Heb “without uncovering my ear.”
