1 Samuel 20:31-33

New International Reader's Version

³¹ You will never be king as long as Jesse’s son lives on this earth. And you will never have a kingdom either. So send someone to bring the son of Jesse to me. He must die!”

³² “Why do you want to put him to death?” Jonathan asked his father. “What has he done?” ³³ But Saul threw his spear at Jonathan to kill him. Then Jonathan knew that his father wanted to kill David.
