← 1 Samuel 23:17	1 Samuel 23:18 (KJV)	1 Samuel 23:19 →
And he said unto him, Fear not: for the hand of Saul my father shall not find thee; and thou shalt be king over Israel, and I shall be next unto thee; and that also Saul my father knoweth.	And they two made a covenant before the LORD: and David abode in the wood, and Jonathan went to his house.	Then came up the Ziphites to Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doth not David hide himself with us in strong holds in the wood, in the hill of Hachilah, which [is] on the south of Jeshimon?
