1 Samuel 20:7-9

Darby Translation

⁷ If he say thus, It is well,—thy servant shall have peace; but if he be very wroth, be sure that evil is determined by him.

⁸ Deal kindly then with thy servant; for thou hast brought thy servant into a covenant of Jehovah with thee; but if there be in me iniquity, slay me thyself; for why shouldest thou bring me to thy father?

⁹ And Jonathan said, Far be it from thee; for, if I knew with certainty that evil were determined by my father to come upon thee, would I not tell it thee?
