And Jonathan said to the young man that bore his armor, Come, and let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised: it may be that the LORD will work for us: for there is no restraint to the LORD to save by many or by few.

יְהוֹנָתָ֜ן ye.ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”

Then said Jonathan, Behold, we will pass over to these men, and we will discover ourselves to them.

יְה֣וֹנָתָ֔ן ye.Ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”

And it came to pass, when he had made an end of 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”

Then 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 garments, 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 kill David.

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

But Jonathan, Saul's son, delighted much in David: and Jonathan told David, saying, Saul my father seeketh to kill thee: now, therefore, I pray thee, take heed to thyself until 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 hath not sinned against thee, and because his works have been toward thee very good:

יְהוֹנָתָ֤ן ye.ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”

And Saul hearkened to the voice of Jonathan: and Saul swore, As the LORD liveth, he shall not be slain.

יְהוֹנָתָ֑ן ye.ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”

And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan showed him all those things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as in times past.

יְהוֹנָתָן֙ ye.ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”יְה֣וֹנָתָ֔ן ye.Ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”יְהוֹנָתָ֤ן ye.ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”

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

יְהוֹנָתָ֗ן ye.ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”

And David swore moreover, and said, Thy father certainly knoweth that I have found grace in thy eyes; and he saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he should be grieved: But truly as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, there is but a step between me and death.

יְהוֹנָתָ֖ן ye.ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”

Then said Jonathan to David, Whatever thy soul desireth, I will even do it for thee.

יְהוֹנָתָ֖ן ye.ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”

And David said to Jonathan, Behold, to morrow 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.

יְהוֹנָתָ֗ן ye.ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”

And Jonathan said, Far be it from thee: for if I knew certainly that evil is determined by my father to come upon thee, then would not I tell it thee?

יְהוֹנָתָ֖ן ye.ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”

Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me? or what if thy father shall 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, 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 towards David, and I then send not to thee, and show it thee;

יְהוֹנָתָ֜ן ye.ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”

The LORD do so and much more to Jonathan: but if it shall please my father to do thee evil, then I will show it to thee, and send thee away, that thou mayest go in peace: and the LORD be with thee, as he hath been with my father.

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

So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, Let the LORD even require it at the hand of David's enemies.

יְהוֹנָתָ֖ן ye.ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”

And Jonathan caused David to swear again, because he loved him: for he loved him as he loved his own soul.

יְהֽוֹנָתָן֙ ye.ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”

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

יְהוֹנָתָ֖ן ye.ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”

And the king sat upon his seat, as at other times, even upon a 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 on the morrow, which was the second day of the month, that David's place was empty: and Saul said to Jonathan his son, Why cometh not the son of Jesse to eat, neither yesterday, nor to-day?

יְהוֹנָתָ֣ן ye.ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”

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