14You shall not only while yet I live show me the lovingkindness of Yahweh, that I not die;
15but also you shall not cut off your kindness from my house forever; no, not when Yahweh has cut off the enemies of David everyone from the surface of the earth.
16So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, [saying], Yahweh will require it at the hand of David`s enemies.
17Jonathan caused David to swear again, for the love that he had to him; for he loved him as he loved his own soul.
18Then Jonathan said to him, Tomorrow is the new moon: and you will be missed, because your seat will be empty.
19When you have stayed three days, you shall go down quickly, and come to the place where you did hide yourself when the business was in hand, and shall remain by the stone Ezel.
20I will shoot three arrows on the side of it, as though I shot at a mark.
