1 Samuel 20:29-31

Living Bible

^28-29 “He asked me if he could go to Bethlehem to take part in a family celebration,” Jonathan replied. “His brother demanded that he be there, so I told him to go ahead.”

³⁰ Saul boiled with rage. “You fool!”^[a] he yelled at him. “Do you think I don’t know that you want this son of a nobody to be king in your place, shaming yourself and your mother? ³¹ As long as that fellow is alive, you’ll never be king. Now go and get him so I can kill him!”
