1 Samuel 20:7-9

Expanded Bible

⁷ If your father says, ‘·Fine [Very well; Good],’ ·I am safe [^Lyour servant is well]. But if he becomes angry, you will know that he ·wants to hurt me [is determined to harm me; has an evil plan]. ⁸ Jonathan, ·be loyal [show kindness/faithful love] to me, your servant. You have made an ·agreement [covenant; solemn pact] with me before the Lord. If I ·am guilty [have sinned], you may kill me yourself! Why ·hand me over [betray me] to your father?”

⁹ Jonathan answered, “·No, never [^LFar be it from you]! If I learn that my father ·plans to hurt you [^Ldecided on evil], ·I will warn you [wouldn’t I tell you?]!”
