David said to Jonathan, Behold, tomorrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king at meat: but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field to the third day at evening.

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וְשִׁלַּחְתַּ֙נִי֙ (וְ) ve. “and”וְנִסְתַּרְתִּ֣י (וְ) ve. “and”

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

וְאָמַרְתָּ֗ (וְ) ve. “and”

Therefore deal kindly with your servant; for you have brought your servant into a covenant of Yahweh with you: but if there be in me iniquity, kill me yourself; for why should you bring me to your father?

וְעָשִׂ֤יתָ (וְ) ve. “and”

Jonathan said, Far be it from you; for if I should at all know that evil were determined by my father to come on you, then wouldn't I tell you that?

וַיֹּ֥אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

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

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

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

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

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

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

Yahweh do so to Jonathan, and more also, should it please my father to do you evil, if I don't disclose it to you, and send you away, that you may go in peace: and Yahweh be with you, as he has 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], Yahweh will require it at the hand of David's enemies.

וַיִּכְרֹ֥ת (וַ) va “and”וּבִקֵּ֣שׁ (וּ) u. “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 to him, Tomorrow is the new moon: and you will be missed, because your seat will be empty.

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

When you have stayed three days, you shall go down quickly, and come to the place where you did hide yourself when the business was in hand, and shall 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”

The king sat on his seat, as at other times, even on 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”

It happened on the next day after the new moon, [supplied: which was] the second [supplied: day], that David's place was empty: and Saul said to Jonathan his son, Why doesn't the son of Jesse come to meat, neither yesterday, nor today?

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

Jonathan answered Saul, David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Bethlehem:

וַיַּ֥עַן (וַ) va “and”

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

וַיֹּ֡אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

Then Saul's anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said to him, You son of a perverse rebellious woman, don't I know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your own shame, and to the shame of your mother's nakedness?

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

Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said to him, "Why should he be put to death? What has he done?"

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

Saul cast his spear at him to strike him. By this Jonathan knew that his father was determined to put David to death.

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

So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and ate no food the second day of the month; for he was grieved for David, because his father had done him shame.

וַיָּ֧קָם (וַ) va “and”

It happened in the morning, that Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little boy with him.

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

He said to his boy, Run, find now the arrows which I shoot. As the boy ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

When the boy was come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the boy, and said, Isn't the arrow beyond you?

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

Jonathan cried after the boy, Go fast! Hurry! Don't delay! Jonathan's boy gathered up the arrows, and came to his master.
