4 So Jonathan spoke on David's behalf to his father Saul. He said to him, |The king should not sin against his servant David, for he has not sinned against you. On the contrary, his actions have been very beneficial for you. 5 He risked his life when he struck down the Philistine and the LORD gave all Israel a great victory. When you saw it, you were happy. So why would you sin against innocent blood by putting David to death for no reason?| 1 Samuel 19:4-5, New English Translation. Copyright © 1996-2017 by Biblical Studies Press.
