Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armor, Come, and let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised: it may be that Yahweh will work for us; for there is no restraint to Yahweh 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 disclose ourselves to them.

יְה֣וֹנָתָ֔ן ye.Ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”

It happened, 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”

Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was on him, and gave it to David, and his clothing, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his sash.

יְהוֹנָתָ֗ן ye.ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”

Saul spoke to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should kill David. But Jonathan, Saul's son, delighted much in David.

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

Jonathan told David, saying, Saul my father seeks to kill you: now therefore, please take care of yourself in the morning, and live in a secret place, and hide yourself:

יְהוֹנָתָן֙ ye.ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”

Jonathan spoke good of David to Saul his father, and said to him, Don't let the king sin against his servant, against David; because he has not sinned against you, and because his works have been very good toward you:

יְהוֹנָתָ֤ן ye.ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”

Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan: and Saul swore, As Yahweh lives, he shall not be put to death.

יְהוֹנָתָ֑ן ye.ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”

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

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

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 your father, that he seeks my life?"

יְהוֹנָתָ֗ן ye.ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”

David swore moreover, and said, Your father knows well that I have found favor in your eyes; and he says, Don't let Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved: but truly as Yahweh lives, and as your soul lives, there is but a step between me and death.

יְהוֹנָתָ֖ן ye.ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”

Then said Jonathan to David, Whatever your soul desires, I will even do it for you.

יְהוֹנָתָ֖ן ye.ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”

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.

יְהוֹנָתָ֗ן ye.ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”

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?

יְהוֹנָתָ֖ן ye.ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”

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

יְה֣וֹנָתָ֔ן ye.Ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”

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

יְהֽוֹנָתָן֙ ye.ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”

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

יְהוֹנָתָ֜ן ye.ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”

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.

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

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

יְהוֹנָתָ֖ן ye.ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”

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

יְהֽוֹנָתָן֙ ye.ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”

Then Jonathan said to him, Tomorrow is the new moon: and you will be missed, because your seat will be empty.

יְהוֹנָתָ֖ן ye.ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”

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.

יְה֣וֹנָתָ֔ן ye.Ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”

It happened on the next day after the new moon, [ergänzt: which was] the second [ergänzt: 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?

יְהוֹנָתָ֣ן ye.ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”

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

יְהוֹנָתָ֖ן ye.ho.na.Tan “Jonathan”
