And Jonathan said to the young man that bore his armour, Come, and let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised: perhaps Jehovah will work for us; for there is no restraint to Jehovah to save by many or by few.

יְהוֹנָתָ֜ן ye.ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”

Then said Jonathan, Behold, we will pass over to the men, and we will shew ourselves to them.

יְה֣וֹנָתָ֔ן ye.Ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”

And it came to pass, when he had ended speaking to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.

יְה֣וֹנָתָ֔ן ye.Ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”יְהוֹנָתָ֖ן ye.ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”

And Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.

יְהוֹנָתָ֛ן ye.ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”

And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his dress, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.

יְהוֹנָתָ֗ן ye.ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”

And Saul spoke to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should slay David.

וִיהֽוֹנָתָן֙ (יהֽוֹנָתָן֙) ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”

But Jonathan Saul's son delighted much in David. And Jonathan told David, saying, Saul my father seeks to kill thee; and now, I pray thee, take heed to thyself in the morning, and abide in a secret place and hide thyself;

יְהוֹנָתָן֙ ye.ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”

And Jonathan spoke good of David to Saul his father, and said to him, Let not the king sin against his servant, against David, because he has not sinned against thee; for also what he did was very advantageous to thee;

יְהוֹנָתָ֤ן ye.ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”

And Saul hearkened to the voice of Jonathan, and Saul swore, [ergänzt: As] Jehovah liveth, he shall not be put to death!

יְהוֹנָתָ֑ן ye.ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”

Then Jonathan called David, and Jonathan declared to him all those things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence as previously.

And David fled from Naioth by Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, What have I done? what is mine iniquity, and what is my sin before thy father, that he seeks my life?

יְהוֹנָתָ֗ן ye.ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”

And David swore again and again, and said, Thy father certainly knows that I have found favour in thy sight: and he has thought, Jonathan shall not know this, lest he be grieved; but truly [ergänzt: as] Jehovah liveth, and [ergänzt: as] thy soul liveth, there is but a step between me and death.

יְהוֹנָתָ֖ן ye.ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”

And Jonathan said to David, What thy soul may say, I will even do it for thee.

יְהוֹנָתָ֖ן ye.ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”

And David said to Jonathan, Behold, to-morrow is 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 until the third evening.

יְהוֹנָתָ֗ן ye.ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”

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?

יְהוֹנָתָ֖ן ye.ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”

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

יְה֣וֹנָתָ֔ן ye.Ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”

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

יְהֽוֹנָתָן֙ ye.ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”

And Jonathan said to David, Jehovah, God of Israel, when I sound my father about this time to-morrow, [ergänzt: or] the next day, and behold, there be good toward David, and I then send not to thee, and apprise thee of it,

יְהוֹנָתָ֜ן ye.ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”

Jehovah do so and much more to Jonathan. Should it please my father [ergänzt: 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.

לִֽיהוֹנָתָ֜ן (יהוֹנָתָ֜ן) ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”

And Jonathan made [ergänzt: a covenant] with the house of David, [ergänzt: saying,] Let Jehovah even require [ergänzt: it] at the hand of David's enemies!

יְהוֹנָתָ֖ן ye.ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”

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

יְהֽוֹנָתָן֙ ye.ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”

And Jonathan said to him, To-morrow is the new moon; and thou wilt be missed, for thy seat will be empty;

יְהוֹנָתָ֖ן ye.ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”

And the king sat on his seat, as at other times, on the seat by the wall; and Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul's side, and David's place was empty.

יְה֣וֹנָתָ֔ן ye.Ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”

And it came to pass the next day after the new moon, the second [ergänzt: day of the month], as David's place was empty, that Saul said to Jonathan his son, Why has not the son of Jesse come to table, neither yesterday nor to-day?

יְהוֹנָתָ֣ן ye.ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”

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