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.
Jonathan caused David to swear again, for the love that he had to him; for he loved him as he loved his own soul.
They both made a covenant before Yahweh: and David stayed in the woods, and Jonathan went to his house.
David went out to meet them, and answered them, "If you have come peaceably to me to help me, my heart shall be knit to you; but if you have come to betray me to my adversaries, since there is no wrong in my hands, may the God of our fathers look thereon, and rebuke it."
