1 Samuel 19:4-6

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁴ And Jonathan spoke good of David unto Saul, his father, and said unto him, Let not the king sin against his slave David, for he has not sinned against thee; on the other hand his works have been very good for thee,

⁵ for he put his soul in his hand and slew the Philistine, and the LORD wrought a great salvation for all Israel. Thou didst see it and rejoice. Why then wilt thou sin against innocent blood to slay David without a cause?

⁶ And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan, and Saul swore, As the LORD lives, he shall not be slain.
