1 Samuel 20:3
| ← 1 Samuel 20:2 | 1 Samuel 20:3 (KJV) | 1 Samuel 20:4 → |
|---|---|---|
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 shew 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.
|
Then said Jonathan unto David, Whatsoever thy soul desireth, I will even do [it] for thee.
