Chapter 19

Jonathan Defends David.[a] Saul told his son Jonathan and all his servants that they should kill David, but Jonathan, Saul’s son, was very fond of David. Jonathan informed David about it saying, “Saul, my father, is seeking to kill you. Be on your guard tomorrow morning. Stay in some secret place and hide there. I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are. I will speak to him about you, and I will tell you what I discover.”
