King James Version
"And thou shalt not only while yet I live shew me the kindness of the Lord, that I die not:"
— 1 Samuel 20:14, King James Version
“And thou shalt not only while yet I live show me the lovingkindness of Jehovah, that I die not; ”
“You shall not only while yet I live show me the loving kindness of Yahweh, that I not die;”
“While I am still alive, extend to me the loyalty of the LORD, or else I will die!”
“And if I live, thou shalt shew me the kindness of the Lord: but if I die,”
“And may you, while I am still living, O may you be kind to me, as the Lord is kind, and keep me from death!”
“And thou shalt not only while yet I live shew me the kindness of the Lord, that I die not:”
And Jonathan said unto David, Come, and let us go out into the field. And they went out both of them into the field.
And Jonathan said unto 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 unto thee, and shew it thee;
The Lord do so and much more to Jonathan: but if it please my father to do thee evil, then I will shew it thee, and send thee away, that thou mayest go in peace: and the Lord be with thee, as he hath been with my father.
And thou shalt not only while yet I live shew me the kindness of the Lord, that I die not:
But also thou shalt not cut off thy kindness from my house for ever: no, not when the Lord hath cut off the enemies of David every one from the face of the earth.
So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, Let the Lord even require it at the hand of David’s enemies.
And Jonathan caused David to swear again, because he loved him: for he loved him as he loved his own soul.
