1 Samuel 20:2-4 ▼

2 He said to him, |Far from it; you shall not die. Look, my father does nothing either great or small, but that he discloses it to me; and why should my father hide this thing from me? It is not so.|

3 And David answered and said, |Your father knows well that I have found favor in your eyes; and he says, 'Do not let Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved:' but truly as the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, there is but a step between me and death.|

4 Then Jonathan said to David, |Whatever your soul desires, I will do for you.|
