9And Jonathan said, Do not have such a thought: for if I saw that my father was designing evil against you, would I not give you word of it?
10Then David said to Jonathan, Who will give me word if your father gives you a rough answer?
11And Jonathan said to David, Come, let us go out into the country. And the two of them went out together into the open country.
12And Jonathan said to David, May the Lord, the God of Israel, be witness; when I have had a chance of talking to my father, about this time tomorrow, if his feelings to David are good, will I not send and give you the news?
13May the Lord's punishment be on Jonathan, if it is my father's pleasure to do you evil and I do not give you word of it and send you away so that you may go in peace: and may the Lord be with you, as he has been with my father.
14And may you, while I am still living, O may you be kind to me, as the Lord is kind, and keep me from death!
15And let not your mercy ever be cut off from my family, even when the Lord has sent destruction on all David's haters, cutting them off from the face of the earth.
