1 Samuel 20:30-32

EasyEnglish Bible

³⁰ Saul became very angry with Jonathan. He said, ‘You stupid man! I see that you have turned against me! You have become a friend of that son of Jesse. You have brought shame on yourself. Your mother should be ashamed that she gave birth to you! ³¹ You will never rule as king while that son of Jesse is still alive. Send men to go and bring him to me now. He must die!’^[a]

³² Jonathan said to his father, King Saul, ‘Why must David die? What wrong thing has he done?’
