20:9. And Jonathan said: Far be this from thee: for if I should
certainly know that evil is determined by my father against thee, I
could do no otherwise than tell thee.
20:10. And David answered Jonathan: Who shall bring me word, if thy
father should answer thee harshly concerning me?
20:11. And Jonathan said to David: Come, and let us go out into the
field. And when they were both of them gone out into the field,
20:12. Jonathan said to David: O Lord God of Israel, if I shall discover
my father's mind, to morrow, or the day after, and there be any thing
good for David, and I send not immediately to thee, and make it known to
thee,
20:13. May the Lord do so and so to Jonathan, and add still more. But if
my father shall continue in malice against thee, I will discover it to
thy ear, and will send thee away, that thou mayst go in peace, and the
Lord be with thee, as he hath been with my father.
20:14. And if I live, thou shalt shew me the kindness of the Lord: but
if I die,
20:15. Thou shalt not take away thy kindness from my house for ever,
when the Lord shall have rooted out the enemies of David, every one of
them from the earth, may he take away Jonathan from his house, and may
the Lord require it at the hands of David's enemies.
May he take away Jonathan, etc... It is a curse upon himself, if he
should not be faithful to his promise.-Ibid. Require it, etc... That is,
revenge it upon David's enemies, and upon me, if I should fail of my
word given to him.
20:16. Jonathan therefore made a covenant with the house of David: and
the Lord required it at the hands of David's enemies.
20:17. And Jonathan swore again to David, because he loved him: for he
loved him as his own soul.
20:18. And Jonathan said to him: To morrow is the new moon, and thou
wilt be missed:
20:19. For thy seat will be empty till after to morrow. So thou shalt go
down quickly, and come to the place where thou must he hid, on the day
when it is lawful to work, and thou shalt remain beside the stone, which
is called Ezel.
20:20. And I will shoot three arrows near it, and will shoot as if I
were exercising myself at a mark.
20:21. And I will send a boy, saying to him: Go and fetch me the arrows.
20:22. If I shall say to the boy: Behold the arrows are on this side of
thee, take them up: come thou to me, because there is peace to thee, and
there is no evil, as the Lord liveth. But if I shall speak thus to the
boy: Behold the arrows are beyond thee: go in peace, for the Lord hath
sent thee away.
20:23. And concerning the word which I and thou have spoken, the Lord be
between thee and me forever.
20:24. So David was hid in the field, and the new moon came, and the
king sat down to eat bread.
20:25. And when the king sat down upon his chair, (according to custom)
which was beside the wall, Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul's side,
and David's place appeared empty.
20:26. And Saul said nothing that day, for he thought it might have
happened to him, that he was not clean, nor purified.
20:27. And when the second day after the new moon was come, David's
place appeared empty again. And Saul said to Jonathan, his son: Why
cometh not the son of Isai to meat neither yesterday, nor to day?
20:28. And Jonathan answered Saul: He asked leave of me earnestly to go
to Bethlehem.
20:29. And he said: Let me go, for there is a solemn sacrifice in the
city, one of my brethren hath sent for me: and now if I have found
favour in thy eyes, I will go quickly, and see my brethren. For this
cause he came not to the king's table.
