American King James Version
"Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me? or what if your father answer you roughly? ¶ "
— 1 Samuel 20:10, American King James Version
“Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me? or what if thy father answer thee roughly?”
“Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me if perchance thy father answer thee roughly? ”
“Then David said to Jonathan, "Who shall tell me if perchance your father answers you roughly?"”
“David said to Jonathan,“Who will tell me if your father answers you harshly?””
“And David answered Jonathan: Who shall bring me word, if thy father should answer thee harshly concerning me?”
“Then David said to Jonathan, Who will give me word if your father gives you a rough answer?”
“Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me? or what if thy father answer thee roughly?”
If he say thus, It is well; your servant shall have peace: but if he be very wroth, then be sure that evil is determined by him.
Therefore you shall deal kindly with your servant; for you have brought your servant into a covenant of the LORD with you: notwithstanding, if there be in me iniquity, slay me yourself; for why should you bring me to your father?
And Jonathan said, Far be it from you: for if I knew certainly that evil were determined by my father to come on you, then would not I tell it you?
Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me? or what if your father answer you roughly? ¶
And Jonathan said to David, Come, and let us go out into the field. And they went out both of them into the field.
And Jonathan said to David, O LORD God of Israel, when I have sounded my father about to morrow any time, or the third day, and, behold, if there be good toward David, and I then send not to you, and show it you;
The LORD do so and much more to Jonathan: but if it please my father to do you evil, then I will show it you, and send you away, that you may go in peace: and the LORD be with you, as he has been with my father.
