Genesis 21:23
New King James Version
23 Now therefore, (A)swear[a] to me by God that you will not deal falsely with me, with my offspring, or with my posterity; but that according to the kindness that I have done to you, you will do to me and to the land in which you have dwelt.”

1 Samuel 20:14-17
New King James Version
14 And you shall not only show me the kindness of the Lord while I still live, that I may not die; 15 but (A)you shall not [a]cut off your kindness from my [b]house forever, no, not when the Lord has cut off every one of the enemies of David from the face of the earth.” 16 So Jonathan made a covenant with the [c]house of David, saying, (B)“Let the Lord require it at the hand of David’s enemies.”
17 Now Jonathan again caused David to vow, because he loved him; (C)for he loved him as he loved his own soul.
