09:020:010 Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me? or what if thy
father answer thee roughly?
09:020:011 And Jonathan said unto David, Come, and let us go out into the
field. And they went out both of them into the field.
09:020:012 And Jonathan said unto David, O LORD God of Israel, when I
have sounded my father about to morrow any time, or the third
day, and, behold, if there be good toward David, and I then
send not unto thee, and shew it thee;
09:020:013 The LORD do so and much more to Jonathan: but if it please my
father to do thee evil, then I will shew it thee, and send
thee away, that thou mayest go in peace: and the LORD be with
thee, as he hath been with my father.
09:020:014 And thou shalt not only while yet I live shew me the kindness of the LORD, that I die not:
09:020:015 But also thou shalt not cut off thy kindness from my house for ever: no, not when the LORD hath cut off the enemies of David every one from the face of the earth.
09:020:016 So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying,
Let the LORD even require it at the hand of David's enemies.
09:020:017 And Jonathan caused David to swear again, because he loved
him: for he loved him as he loved his own soul.
09:020:018 Then Jonathan said to David, To morrow is the new moon: and
thou shalt be missed, because thy seat will be empty.
09:020:019 And when thou hast stayed three days, then thou shalt go down quickly, and come to the place where thou didst hide thyself when the business was in hand, and shalt remain by the stone Ezel.
