2 Jonathan answered, |That's unthinkable! You're not going to die! My father does nothing without telling me, whether it's important or not. Why should my father hide this from me? It's just not that way.|

3 But David took an oath, saying, |Your father certainly knows that you support me, so he said [to himself], 'Jonathan must not know about this. It will bring him distress.' But I solemnly swear, as the LORD and you live, I'm only one step away from death.|

4 Jonathan said to David, |I'll do whatever you say.|
