1 Samuel 20:7-9

Revised Geneva Translation

⁷ “And if he says this: ‘It is well,’ your servant shall have peace. But if he is angry, be sure that wickedness is his conclusion.

⁸ “So shall you show mercy to your servant. For you have brought your servant into a Covenant of the LORD with you. And if there is iniquity in me, kill me yourself. For why should you bring me to your father?”

⁹ And Jonathan answered, “God keep you from that! For if I knew that my father had intended to bring wickedness upon you, would I not tell you?”
