1 Then Saul (desired) ordered his son Jonathan (YHWH has given) and all his servants to kill David (beloved). But Jonathan delighted greatly in David, 2 so he (YHWH has given) warned David (beloved), saying, “My father Saul (desired) intends to kill you. Be on your guard in the morning; find a secret place and hide there. 3 I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, so I can ask about you. And if I find out anything, I will tell you.” 4 Then Jonathan (YHWH has given) spoke well of David (beloved) to his father Saul (desired) and said to him, “The king should not sin against his servant David; he has not sinned against you. In fact, his actions have been highly beneficial to you. 5 He took his life in his hands when he struck down the Philistine (immigrants), and the LORD {YHWH} worked a great salvation for all Israel (he wrestles with God). You saw it and rejoiced, so why would you sin against innocent blood by killing David (beloved) for no reason?” 6 Saul (desired) listened to the voice of Jonathan (YHWH has given) and swore an oath: “As surely as the LORD {YHWH} lives, David will not be put to death.” 7 So Jonathan (YHWH has given) summoned David (beloved) and told him all these things. Then Jonathan brought David to Saul (desired), and David was with Saul as before. 1 Samuel 19:1-7, Berean Annotated Bible. Public domain.
