1. Saul ordered his son Jonathan and all his servants to kill David. But Saul’s son Jonathan liked David very much,
2. so he told him: “My father Saul intends to kill you. Be on your guard in the morning and hide in a secret place and stay there.
3. I’ll go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are and talk to him about you. When I see what he says, I’ll tell you.”
4. Jonathan spoke well of David to his father Saul. He said to him: “The king should not sin against his servant David. He hasn’t sinned against you; in fact, his actions have been a great advantage to you.
5. He took his life in his hands when he struck down the Philistine, and the Lord brought about a great victory for all Israel. You saw it and rejoiced, so why would you sin against innocent blood by killing David for no reason? ”
