1 Samuel 19:4-6

Revised Geneva Translation

⁴ And Jonathan spoke good of David to Saul, his father, and said to him, “Do not let the king sin against his servant, against David. For he has not sinned against you, but his works have been very good to you.

⁵ “For he put his life in danger and killed the Philistine. And the LORD wrought a great salvation for all Israel. You saw it, and you rejoiced. Why, then, will you sin against innocent blood and kill David without a reason?”

⁶ Then Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan. And Saul swore, “As the LORD lives, he shall not die.”
