1 Samuel 20:7-9

New International Version

⁷ If he says, ‘Very well,’ then your servant is safe. But if he loses his temper,^(A) you can be sure that he is determined^(B) to harm me. ⁸ As for you, show kindness to your servant, for you have brought him into a covenant^(C) with you before the Lord. If I am guilty, then kill^(D) me yourself! Why hand me over to your father?”

⁹ “Never!” Jonathan said. “If I had the least inkling that my father was determined to harm you, wouldn’t I tell you?”
