1 Samuel 19:4-6

Contemporary English Version

^4-5 The next morning, Jonathan reminded Saul about the many good things David had done for him. Then he said, “Why do you want to kill David? He hasn't done anything to you. He has served in your army and has always done what's best for you. He even risked his life to kill Goliath. The Lord helped Israel win a great victory that day, and it made you happy.”

⁶ Saul agreed and promised, “I swear by the living Lord that I won't have David killed!”
