If your father happens to miss me, you should say,‘David urgently requested me to let him go to his city Bethlehem, for there is an annual sacrifice there for his entire family.’
If he should then say,‘That’s fine,’ then your servant is safe. But if he becomes very angry, be assured that he has decided to harm me.
You must be loyal to your servant, for you have made a covenant with your servant in the LORD’s name. If I am guilty, you yourself kill me! Why bother taking me to your father?”
Jonathan said,“Far be it from you to suggest this! If I were at all aware that my father had decided to harm you, wouldn’t I tell you about it?”
David said to Jonathan,“Who will tell me if your father answers you harshly?”
Jonathan said to David,“Come on. Let’s go out to the field.”When the two of them had gone out into the field,
Jonathan said to David,“The LORD God of Israel is my witness. I will feel out my father about this time the day after tomorrow. If he is favorably inclined toward David, will I not then send word to you and let you know?
