1 Samuel 20:8-10

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

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? ’

¹⁰ So David asked Jonathan, ‘Who will tell me if your father answers you harshly? ’
