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:

וְעַתָּה֙ (וְ) ve. “and”

And I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where thou art, and I will commune with my father of thee; and what I see, that I will tell thee.

וְכִ֥י (וְ) ve. “and”

For he did put his life in his hand, and slew the Philistine, and the LORD wrought a great salvation for all Israel: thou sawest it, and didst rejoice: wherefore then wilt thou sin against innocent blood, to slay David without a cause?

Then went he also to Ramah, and came to a great well that is in Sechu: and he asked and said, Where are Samuel and David? And one said, Behold, they be at Naioth in Ramah.

וְדָוִ֑ד (וְ) ve. “and”

And he stripped off his clothes also, and prophesied before Samuel in like manner, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Wherefore they say, Is Saul also among the prophets?

וּמֶֽה־ (וּ) u. “and”

And he said unto him, God forbid; thou shalt not die: behold, my father will do nothing either great or small, but that he will show it me: and why should my father hide this thing from me? it is not so.

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

וְאוּלָ֗ם (וְ) ve. “and”וְחֵ֣י (וְ) ve. “and”וּבֵ֥ין (וּ) u. “and”

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

וְאֶֽעֱשֶׂה־ (וְ) ve. “so”

וְאָנֹכִ֛י (וְ) ve. “and”

If he say thus, It is well; thy servant shall have peace: but if he be very wroth, then be sure that evil is determined by him.

וְאִם־ (וְ) ve. “and”

Therefore thou shalt deal kindly with thy servant; for thou hast brought thy servant into a covenant of the LORD with thee: notwithstanding, if there be in me iniquity, slay me thyself; for why shouldest thou bring me to thy father?

וְאִם־ (וְ) ve. “and”וְעַד־ (וְ) ve. “and”

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