1 Samuel 20:8-10

Revised Geneva Translation

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?”

¹⁰ Then David said to Jonathan, “Who shall tell me? How shall I know if your father answers you roughly?”
