— 1 Samuel 20:33, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And Saul cast a javelin at him to smite him: whereby Jonathan knew that it was determined of his father to slay David.”
“And Saul cast his spear at him to smite him; whereby Jonathan knew that it was determined of his father to put David to death. ”
“Saul cast his spear at him to strike him. By this Jonathan knew that his father was determined to put David to death.”
“Then Saul threw his spear at Jonathan in order to strike him down. So Jonathan was convinced that his father had decided to kill David.”
“And Saul caught up a spear to strike him. And Jonathan understood that it was determined by his father to kill David.”
“And Saul, pointing his spear at him, made an attempt to give him a wound: from which it was clear to Jonathan that his father's purpose was to put David to death.”
“And Saul cast a javelin at him to smite him: whereby Jonathan knew that it was determined of his father to slay David.”
Then Saul, becoming angry against Jonathan, said to him: “You son of a woman wantonly seizing a man! Could I be ignorant that you love the son of Jesse, to your own shame, and to the shame of your disgraceful mother?
For all the days that the son of Jesse moves upon earth, neither you, nor your kingdom, will be secure. And so, send and bring him to me, here and now. For he is a son of death.”
Then Jonathan, answering his father Saul, said: “Why should he die? What has he done?”
And Saul picked up a lance, so that he might strike him. And Jonathan understood that it had been decided by his father that David be put to death.
Therefore, Jonathan rose up from the table in a rage of anger. And he did not eat bread on the second day after the new moon. For he was saddened over David, because his father had confounded him.
And when the morning had begun to dawn, Jonathan went into the field according to the agreement with David, and a young boy was with him.
And he said to his boy, “Go, and bring to me the arrows that I shoot.” And when the boy had run, he shot another arrow away from the boy.
