1 Samuel 20:14-17 ▼

14 And if I am still alive, will you not show me the lovingkindness of Yahweh, that I may not die?

15 You shall not cut off your lovingkindness from my house forever, not even when Yahweh cuts off every one of the enemies of David from the face of the earth.”

16 So Jonathan cut a covenant with the house of David, saying, “May Yahweh require it at the hands of David’s enemies.”

17 And Jonathan made David swear again because of his love for him, because he loved him as he loved his own soul.
