If thy father should actually miss me, then say, David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Bethlehem his city; for there is a yearly sacrifice there for all the family.

וְאָמַרְתָּ֗ (וְ) ve. “and”

Deal kindly then 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 knew with certainty that evil were determined by my father to come upon thee, would I not tell it thee?

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

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

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

Jehovah do so and much more to Jonathan. Should it please my father [supplied: to do] thee evil, then I will apprise thee of it, and send thee away, that thou mayest go in peace; and Jehovah be with thee, as he has been with my father.

but on the third day thou shalt go down quickly, and come to the place where thou didst hide thyself on the day of the business, and abide by the stone Ezel.

And Jonathan answered Saul, David earnestly asked leave of me [supplied: to go] to Bethlehem,

וַיַּ֥עַן (וַ) va “and”

and said, Let me go, I pray thee; for we have a family sacrifice in the city; and my brother himself has commanded me [supplied: to be there]; and now, if I have found favour in thy sight, let me go away, I pray thee, and see my brethren. He has therefore not come to the king's table.

וַיֹּ֡אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

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