NASB
"Jonathan made David vow again because of his love for him, because he loved him as he loved his own life."
— 1 Samuel 20:17, NASB
“And Jonathan caused David to swear again, because he loved him: for he loved him as he loved his own soul.”
“And Jonathan caused David to swear again, for the love that he had to him; for he loved him as he loved his own soul. ”
“Jonathan caused David to swear again, for the love that he had to him; for he loved him as he loved his own soul.”
“Jonathan once again took an oath with David, because he loved him. In fact Jonathan loved him as much as he did his own life.”
“And Jonathan swore again to David, because he loved him: for he loved him as his own soul.”
“And Jonathan again took an oath to David, because of his love for him: for David was as dear to him as his very soul.”
“And Jonathan caused David to swear again, because he loved him: for he loved him as he loved his own soul.”
"If I am still alive, will you not show me the lovingkindness of the LORD, that I may not die?
"You shall not cut off your lovingkindness from my house forever, not even when the LORD cuts off every one of the enemies of David from the face of the earth."
So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, "May the LORD require it at the hands of David's enemies."
Jonathan made David vow again because of his love for him, because he loved him as he loved his own life.
Then Jonathan said to him, "Tomorrow is the new moon, and you will be missed because your seat will be empty.
"When you have stayed for three days, you shall go down quickly and come to the place where you hid yourself on that eventful day, and you shall remain by the stone Ezel.
"I will shoot three arrows to the side, as though I shot at a target.
