1 Samuel 20:7-9

Christian Standard Bible

⁷ If he says, ‘Good,’ then your servant is safe, but if he becomes angry, you will know he has evil intentions. ⁸ Deal kindly with^[a] your servant, for you have brought me into a covenant with you before the Lord.^(A) If I have done anything wrong,^(B) then kill me yourself; why take me to your father?”

⁹ “No!” Jonathan responded. “If I ever find out my father has evil intentions against you, wouldn’t I tell you about it?”
