So deal kindly with your servant, for you have brought your servant into a covenant of the Lord with you. But if I am guilty of wrongdoing, kill me yourself; for why then should you bring me to your father?”Jonathan said,“ Far be it from you! For if I in fact learn that my father has decided to inflict harm on you, would I not inform you?”Then David said to Jonathan,“ Who will inform me if your father answers you harshly?”Jonathan said to David,“ Come, and let’s go out to the field.” So both of them went out to the field.Then Jonathan said to David,“ The Lord, the God of Israel, is my witness! When I have sounded out my father about this time tomorrow or the third day, behold, if he has a good feeling toward you, shall I not then send word to you and inform you?If it pleases my father to do you harm, may the Lord do so to me and more so, if I fail to inform you and send you away, so that you may go in safety. And may the Lord be with you as He has been with my father.And if I am still alive, will you not show me the faithfulness of the Lord, so that I do not die?And you shall never cut off your loyalty to my house, 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 demand it from the hands of David’s enemies.”And 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 David,“ Go in safety, since we have sworn to each other in the name of the Lord, saying,‘ The Lord will be between me and you, and between my descendants and your descendants forever.’ ” So David set out and went on his way, while Jonathan went into the city.

But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, because of the oath of the Lord which was between them, between David and Saul’s son Jonathan.

So the two of them made a covenant before the Lord; and David stayed at Horesh, while Jonathan went to his house.

Then David said,“ Is there anyone still left of the house of Saul, so that I could show him kindness for Jonathan’s sake?”Now there was a servant of the house of Saul whose name was Ziba, and they summoned him to David; and the king said to him,“ Are you Ziba?” And he said,“ I am your servant.”Then the king said,“ Is there no one remaining of the house of Saul to whom I could show the kindness of God?” And Ziba said to the king,“ There is still a son of Jonathan, one who is disabled in both feet.”
