1 Then Davidfled from Naiothin Ramahand went to Jonathan. "What have I done?" he asked. "What crime have I committed? What wrong have I done to your father to make him want to kill me?"
2 Jonathan answered, "God forbid that you should die! My father tells me everything he does, important or not, and he would not hide this from me. It just isn’t so!"
3 But Davidanswered,20.3: One ancient translation answered; Hebrew made a vow again."Your father knows very well how much you like me, and he has decided not to let you know what he plans to do, because you would be deeply hurt. I swear to you by the living Lordthat I am only a step away from death!"
4 Jonathansaid, "I’ll do anything you want."
5 Nu 28.11"Tomorrow is the New Moon Festival," Davidreplied, "and I am supposed to eat with the king. But if it’s all right with you, I will go and hide in the fields until the evening of the day after tomorrow. 6 If your father notices that I am not at the table, tell him that I begged your permission to hurry home to Bethlehem, since it’s the time for the annual sacrifice there for my whole family. 7 If he says, ‘All right,’ I will be safe; but if he becomes angry, you will know that he is determined to harm me. 8 Please do me this favor, and keep the sacred promise you made to me. But if I’m guilty, kill me yourself! Why take me to your father to be killed?"
9 "Don’t even think such a thing!" Jonathananswered. "If I knew for sure that my father was determined to harm you, wouldn’t I tell you?"
10 Davidthen asked, "Who will let me know if your father answers you angrily?"
11 "Let’s go out to the fields," Jonathananswered. So they went, 12 and Jonathansaid to David, "May the LordGod of Israel be our witness!20.12: One ancient translation be our witness; Hebrew does not have these words.At this time tomorrow and on the following day I will question my father. If his attitude toward you is good, I will send you word. 13 If he intends to harm you, may the Lordstrike me dead if I don’t let you know about it and get you safely away. May the Lordbe with you as he was with my father! 14 And if I remain alive, please keep your sacred promise and be loyal to me; but if I die,20.14: Some ancient translations if I die; Hebrew that I may not die.15 2 S 9.1show the same kind of loyalty to my family forever. And when the Lordhas completely destroyed all your enemies, 16 may our promise to each other still be unbroken. If it is broken, the Lordwill punish you."20.16: Verses 15-16 in Hebrew are unclear.
17 Once again Jonathanmade Davidpromise to love him, for Jonathanloved Davidas much as he loved himself. 18 Then Jonathansaid to him, "Since tomorrow is the New Moon Festival, your absence will be noticed if you aren’t at the meal. 19 The day after tomorrow your absence will be noticed20.19: Some ancient translations your absence will be noticed; Hebrew go down.even more; so go to the place where you hid yourself the other time, and hide behind the pile of stones there.20.19: Probable text the pile of stones there; Hebrew the Ezel Stone.20 I will then shoot three arrows at it, as though it were a target. 21 Then I will tell my servant to go and find them. And if I tell him, ‘Look, the arrows are on this side of you; get them,’ that means that you are safe and can come out. I swear by the living Lordthat you will be in no danger. 22 But if I tell him, ‘The arrows are on the other side of you,’ then leave, because the Lordis sending you away. 23 As for the promise we have made to each other, the Lordwill make sure that we will keep it forever."
24 So Davidhid in the fields. At the New Moon Festival, King Saul came to the meal 25 and sat in his usual place by the wall. Abnersat next to him, and Jonathansat across the table from him.20.25: One ancient translation sat across the table from him; Hebrew stood up.David’s place was empty, 26 but Saulsaid nothing that day, because he thought, "Something has happened to him, and he is not ritually pure." 27 On the following day, the day after the New Moon Festival, David’s place was still empty, and Saulasked Jonathan, "Why didn’t Davidcome to the meal either yesterday or today?"
28 Jonathananswered, "He begged me to let him go to Bethlehem. 29 ‘Please let me go,’ he said, ‘because our family is celebrating the sacrificial feast in town, and my brother ordered me to be there. So then, if you are my friend, let me go and see my relatives.’ That is why he isn’t in his place at your table."
30 Saulbecame furious with Jonathanand said to him, "How rebellious and faithless your mother was! Now I know you are taking sides with Davidand are disgracing yourself and that mother of yours! 31 Don’t you realize that as long as Davidis alive, you will never be king of this country? Now go and bring him here—he must die!"
32 "Why should he die?" Jonathanreplied. "What has he done?"
33 At that, Saulthrew his spear at Jonathanto kill him, and Jonathanrealized that his father was really determined to kill David. 34 Jonathangot up from the table in a rage and ate nothing that day—the second day of the New Moon Festival. He was deeply distressed about David, because Saul had insulted him. 35 The following morning Jonathanwent to the fields to meet David, as they had agreed. He took a young boy with him 36 and said to him, "Run and find the arrows I’m going to shoot." The boy ran, and Jonathan shot an arrow beyond him. 37 When the boy reached the place where the arrow had fallen, Jonathanshouted to him, "The arrow is farther on! 38 Don’t just stand there! Hurry up!" The boy picked up the arrow and returned to his master, 39 not knowing what it all meant; only Jonathanand Davidknew. 40 Jonathangave his weapons to the boy and told him to take them back to town.
41 After the boy had left, Davidgot up from behind the pile of stones,20.41: Probable text the pile of stones; Hebrew the south.fell on his knees and bowed with his face to the ground three times. Both he and Jonathan were crying as they kissed each other; David’s grief was even greater than Jonathan’s.20.41: Probable text David’s grief was even greater than Jonathan’s; Hebrew unclear.42 Then Jonathansaid to David, "God be with you. The Lordwill make sure that you and I, and your descendants and mine, will forever keep the sacred promise we have made to each other." Then Davidleft, and Jonathanwent back to the town.
