"And Jonathan, the son of Saul, rose up and went to David in the woods, and he strengthened his hands in God. And he said to him: "
— 1 Samuel 23:16, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And Jonathan Saul’s son arose, and went to David into the wood, and strengthened his hand in God.”
“And Jonathan, Saul’s son, arose, and went to David into the wood, and strengthened his hand in God. ”
“Jonathan, Saul's son, arose, and went to David into the woods, and strengthened his hand in God.”
“Then Jonathan son of Saul left and went to David at Horesh. He encouraged him through God.”
“And Jonathan, the son of Saul, arose, and went to David, into the wood, and strengthened his hands in God: and he said to him:”
“And Saul's son Jonathan went to David in Horesh, and made his hands strong in God;”
“And Jonathan Saul’s son arose, and went to David into the wood, and strengthened his hand in God.”
Therefore, David, and his men of about six hundred, rose up, and, departing from Keilah, they wandered here and there, aimlessly. And it was reported to Saul that David had fled from Keilah, and was saved. For this reason, he chose not to go out.
Then David stayed in the desert, in very strong places. And he stayed on a mount in the wilderness of Ziph, on a shady mount. Nevertheless, Saul was seeking him every day. But the Lord did not deliver him into his hands.
And David saw that Saul had gone out, so that he might seek his life. Now David was in the desert of Ziph, in the woods.
And Jonathan, the son of Saul, rose up and went to David in the woods, and he strengthened his hands in God. And he said to him:
“Do not be afraid. For the hand of my father, Saul, will not find you. And you shall reign over Israel. And I will be second to you. And even my father knows this.”
Therefore, they both struck a pact before the Lord. And David stayed in the woods. But Jonathan returned to his house.
Then the Ziphites ascended to Saul at Gibeah, saying: “Behold, is not David hidden with us in very secure places in the woods on the hill of Hachilah, which is to the right of the desert?
