1 Samuel 20:4-6

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁴ And Jonathan said to David: Whatsoever thy soul shall say to me, I will do for thee.

⁵ And David said to Jonathan: Behold to morrow is the new moon, and I according to custom am wont to sit beside the king to eat: let me go then that I may be hid in the field till the evening of the third day.

⁶ If thy father look and inquire for me, thou shalt answer him: David asked me that he might run to Bethlehem his own city: because there are solemn sacrifices there for all his tribe.
