1 Samuel 20:3-5

New International Version

³ But David took an oath^(A) and said, “Your father knows very well that I have found favor in your eyes, and he has said to himself, ‘Jonathan must not know this or he will be grieved.’ Yet as surely as the Lord lives and as you live, there is only a step between me and death.”

⁴ Jonathan said to David, “Whatever you want me to do, I’ll do for you.”

⁵ So David said, “Look, tomorrow is the New Moon feast,^(B) and I am supposed to dine with the king; but let me go and hide^(C) in the field until the evening of the day after tomorrow.
