If thy father miss me at all, then say, David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Beth-lehem his city; for it is the yearly sacrifice there for all the family.

וְאָמַרְתָּ֗ (וְ) ve. “and”

Therefore deal kindly with thy servant; for thou hast brought thy servant into a covenant of Jehovah with thee: but if there be in me iniquity, slay me thyself; for why shouldest thou bring me to thy father?

וְעָשִׂ֤יתָ (וְ) ve. “and”

And Jonathan said, Far be it from thee; for if I should at all know that evil were determined by my father to come upon thee, then would not I tell it thee?

וַיֹּ֥אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me if perchance thy father answer thee roughly?

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

And Jonathan said unto David, Come, and let us go out into the field. And they went out both of them into the field.

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וַיֵּצְא֥וּ (וַ) va “and”

And Jonathan said unto David, Jehovah, the God of Israel, [supplied: be witness]: when I have sounded my father about this time to-morrow, [supplied: or] the third day, behold, if there be good toward David, shall I not then send unto thee, and disclose it unto thee?

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וְגָלִ֖יתִי (וְ) ve. “and”

Jehovah do so to Jonathan, and more also, should it please my father to do thee evil, if I disclose it not unto thee, and send thee away, that thou mayest go in peace: and Jehovah be with thee, as he hath been with my father.

וְגָלִ֙יתִי֙ (וְ) ve. “and”וְשִׁלַּחְתִּ֖יךָ (וְ) ve. “and”וְהָלַכְתָּ֣ (וְ) ve. “and”

So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, [supplied: saying], And Jehovah will require it at the hand of David's enemies.

וַיִּכְרֹ֥ת (וַ) va “and”וּבִקֵּ֣שׁ (וּ) u. “and”

And Jonathan caused David to swear again, for the love that he had to him; for he loved him as he loved his own soul.

וַיּ֤וֹסֶף (וַ) va “and”

Then Jonathan said unto him, To-morrow is the new moon: and thou wilt be missed, because thy seat will be empty.

וַיֹּֽאמֶר־ (וַ) va “and”וְנִפְקַ֕דְתָּ (וְ) ve. “and”

And when thou hast stayed three days, 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.

וְשִׁלַּשְׁתָּ֙ (וְ) ve. “and”וּבָאתָ֙ (וּ) u. “and”וְיָ֣שַׁבְתָּ֔ (וְ) ve. “and”

So David hid himself in the field: and when the new moon was come, the king sat him down to eat food.

וַיִּסָּתֵ֥ר (וַ) va “and”וַיְהִ֣י (וַ) va “and”וַיֵּ֧שֶׁב (וַ) va “and”

And the king sat upon his seat, as at other times, even upon the seat by the wall; and Jonathan stood up, and Abner sat by Saul's side: but David's place was empty.

וַיֵּ֣שֶׁב (וַ) va “and”וַיָּ֙קָם֙ (וַ) va “and”וַיֵּ֥שֶׁב (וַ) va “and”וַיִּפָּקֵ֖ד (וַ) va “and”

And it came to pass on the morrow after the new moon, [supplied: which was] the second [supplied: day], that David's place was empty: and Saul said unto Jonathan his son, Wherefore cometh not the son of Jesse to meat, neither yesterday, nor to-day?

וַיְהִ֗י (וַ) va “and”וַיִּפָּקֵ֖ד (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֤אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

And Jonathan answered Saul, David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Beth-lehem:

וַיַּ֥עַן (וַ) va “and”

and he said, Let me go, I pray thee; for our family hath a sacrifice in the city; and my brother, he hath commanded me [supplied: to be there]: and now, if I have found favor in thine eyes, let me get away, I pray thee, and see my brethren. Therefore he is not come unto the king's table.

וַיֹּ֡אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

Then Saul's anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said unto him, Thou son of a perverse rebellious woman, do not I know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thine own shame, and unto the shame of thy mother's nakedness?

וַיִּֽחַר־ (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said unto him, Wherefore should he be put to death? what hath he done?

וַיַּ֙עַן֙ (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֧אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

And Saul cast his spear at him to smite him; whereby Jonathan knew that is was determined of his father to put David to death.

וַיָּ֨טֶל (וַ) va “and”וַיֵּ֙דַע֙ (וַ) va “and”

וַיָּ֧קָם (וַ) va “and”

And it came to pass in the morning, that Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little lad with him.

וַיְהִ֣י (וַ) va “and”וַיֵּצֵ֧א (וַ) va “and”

And he said unto his lad, Run, find now the arrows which I shoot. And as the lad ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.

And when the lad was come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the lad, and said, Is not the arrow beyond thee?

וַיָּבֹ֤א (וַ) va “and”וַיִּקְרָ֨א (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֔אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

And Jonathan cried after the lad, Make speed, haste, stay not. And Jonathan's lad gathered up the arrows, and came to his master.
