Read 1 Samuel 20 in full →14“And if I am still alive, will you not show me the lovingkindness of Yahweh, that I may not die? 15“aYou shall not cut off your lovingkindness from my house forever, not even when Yahweh cuts off every one of the enemies of David from the face of the earth.” 16So Jonathan cut a covenant with the house of David, saying, “aMay Yahweh require it at the hands of David’s enemies.” 17And Jonathan made David swear again because of his love for him, because ahe loved him as he loved his own soul.
