Deal faithfully with your servant, for you have brought me into a covenant with you before the Lord. If I have done anything wrong, then kill me yourself; why take me to your father?”“ No!” Jonathan responded.“ If I ever find out my father has evil intentions against you, wouldn’t I tell you about it?”So David asked Jonathan,“ Who will tell me if your father answers you harshly?”He answered David,“ Come on, let’s go out to the field.” So both of them went out to the field.“ By the Lord, the God of Israel, I will sound out my father by this time tomorrow or the next day. If I find out that he is favorable toward you, will I not send for you and tell you?If my father intends to bring evil on you, may God punish Jonathan and do so severely if I do not tell you and send you away so you may go in peace. May the Lord be with you, just as He was with my father.If I continue to live, treat me with the Lord’s faithful love, but if I die,don’t ever withdraw your faithful love from my household— not even when the Lord cuts off every one of David’s enemies from the face of the earth.”Then Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying,“ May the Lord hold David’s enemies accountable.”Jonathan once again swore to David in his love for him, because he loved him as he loved himself.

Jonathan then said to David,“ Go in the assurance the two of us pledged in the name of the Lord when we said: The Lord will be a witness between you and me and between my offspring and your offspring forever.” Then David left, and Jonathan went into the city.

David spared Mephibosheth, the son of Saul’s son Jonathan, because of the oath of the Lord that was between David and Jonathan, Saul’s son.

Then the two of them made a covenant in the Lord’s presence. Afterward, David remained in Horesh, while Jonathan went home.

David asked,“ Is there anyone remaining from Saul’s family I can show kindness to because of Jonathan?”There was a servant of Saul’s family named Ziba. They summoned him to David, and the king said to him,“ Are you Ziba?”“ I am your servant,” he replied.So the king asked,“ Is there anyone left of Saul’s family that I can show the kindness of God to?” Ziba said to the king,“ There is still Jonathan’s son who was injured in both feet.”
