← 1 Samuel 20:8	1 Samuel 20:9 (KJV)	1 Samuel 20:10 →
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?	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?	Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me? or what [if] thy father answer thee roughly?
