1 Samuel 23:17-19
1599 Geneva Bible
17 And said unto him, Fear not: for the hand of Saul my father shall not find thee, and thou shalt be [a]king over Israel, and I shall be next unto thee: and also Saul my father knoweth it.
18 So they twain made a covenant before the Lord: and David did remain in the wood: but Jonathan went to his house.
19 ¶ Then came up the Ziphites to Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doth not David hide himself by us in holds, in the wood in the hill of Hachilah, which is on the right side [b]of Jeshimon?
