1 Samuel 20:15-17

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁵ “but you will never cut off your mercy from my house ever, not even when the LORD has destroyed the enemies of David, each one from the Earth.”

¹⁶ So, Jonathan made a bond with the House of David, saying, “Let the LORD require it at the hands of David’s enemies.”

¹⁷ And again, Jonathan swore to David, because he loved him (for he loved him as his own soul).
