As for you, show kindness to your servant, for you have brought him into a covenant with you before the Lord. If I am guilty, then kill me yourself! Why hand me over to your father?”“ Never!” Jonathan said.“ If I had the least inkling that my father was determined to harm you, wouldn’t I tell you?”David asked,“ Who will tell me if your father answers you harshly?”“ Come,” Jonathan said,“ let’s go out into the field.” So they went there together.Then Jonathan said to David,“ I swear by the Lord, the God of Israel, that I will surely sound out my father by this time the day after tomorrow! If he is favorably disposed toward you, will I not send you word and let you know?But if my father intends to harm you, may the Lord deal with Jonathan, be it ever so severely, if I do not let you know and send you away in peace. May the Lord be with you as he has been with my father.But show me unfailing kindness like the Lord’s kindness as long as I live, so that I may not be killed,and do not ever cut off your kindness from my family— not even when the Lord has cut off every one of David’s enemies from the face of the earth.”So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying,“ May the Lord call David’s enemies to account.”And Jonathan had David reaffirm his oath out of love for him, because he loved him as he loved himself.

Jonathan said to David,“ Go in peace, for we have sworn friendship with each other in the name of the Lord, saying,‘ The Lord is witness between you and me, and between your descendants and my descendants forever.’” Then David left, and Jonathan went back to the town.

The king spared Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, because of the oath before the Lord between David and Jonathan son of Saul.

The two of them made a covenant before the Lord. Then Jonathan went home, but David remained at Horesh.

David asked,“ Is there anyone still left of the house of Saul to whom I can show kindness for Jonathan’s sake?”Now there was a servant of Saul’s household named Ziba. They summoned him to appear before David, and the king said to him,“ Are you Ziba?”“ At your service,” he replied.The king asked,“ Is there no one still alive from the house of Saul to whom I can show God’s kindness?” Ziba answered the king,“ There is still a son of Jonathan; he is lame in both feet.”
