Is that why all of you have joined together against me? No one tells me when my son makes a covenant with Jesse’s son. None of you is concerned about me. No one tells me that my son has stirred up Jesse’s son to hide and wait to attack me. But that’s exactly what’s happening now.”

你们竟都结党害我！我的儿子与耶西的儿子结盟的时候，无人告诉我；我的儿子挑唆我的臣子谋害我，就如今日的光景，也无人告诉我，为我忧虑。”

你们竟都结党害我！我儿子与耶西的儿子立约的时候，无人告诉我；我儿子挑唆我的臣仆谋害我，像今日这样，也无人告诉我，为我忧虑。”

为什么你们一同谋害我？我的儿子跟耶西的儿子立约，没有人告诉我。就是今天我的儿子鼓动我的臣仆来谋害我，也没有人关心我，告诉我。”

你们竟都同谋陷害我。我的儿子与耶西的儿子立盟约的时候，没有人告诉我；我的儿子挑唆我的臣仆陷害我，就像今天一样，你们中间也没有人关心我，告诉我。”

你們所有人竟然同謀對付我！當我的兒子與耶西的兒子結盟的時候，沒有人告訴我；當我的兒子煽動我的臣僕伺機反對我時，就像今天這樣，你們中間也沒有人關心我、告訴我。」

使爾同謀攻我、我子與耶西子結盟、無人以告、罔為我憂、我子激我臣僕、伏以害我、有如今日、亦無人以告、

爾曹乃謀攻我、今日我子與我臣僕耶西之子結約、使伏以害我、無人以告、無人為我懷憂。

爾竟結黨謀攻我、我子與耶西子結盟、我子使我之臣、伏以害我、即如今日情景、爾中乃無人告我、無人為我懷憂、

Is that why you have conspired against me? For not one of you told me when my own son made a solemn pact with the son of Jesse. You’re not even sorry for me. Think of it! My own son— encouraging him to kill me, as he is trying to do this very day!”

That’s why all of you have conspired against me! Nobody tells me when my own son makes a covenant with Jesse’s son. None of you cares about me or tells me that my son has stirred up my own servant to wait in ambush for me, as is the case today.”

Jonathan made a covenant with David because he loved him just as he loved himself.

Saul replied,“ May the Lord bless you because you were concerned about me.

“ That will never happen!” Jonathan replied.“ You aren’t going to die! My father doesn’t do anything at all without letting me know. So why would he hide this from me? He isn’t going to kill you!”

He might speak in their ears. His warnings might terrify them.

Saul’s son Jonathan went to David at Horesh. He told David that God would make him strong.“ Don’t be afraid,” he said.“ My father Saul won’t harm you. You will be king over Israel. And I will be next in command. Even my father Saul knows this.”The two of them made a covenant of friendship in front of the Lord. Then Jonathan went home. But David remained at Horesh.

Jonathan said to David,“ Go in peace. In the name of the Lord we’ve promised to be friends. We have said,‘ The Lord is a witness between you and me. He’s a witness between your children and my children forever.’ ” Then David left, and Jonathan went back to the town.

Saul became very angry with Jonathan. He said to him,“ You are an evil son. You have refused to obey me. I know that you are on the side of Jesse’s son. You should be ashamed of that. And your mother should be ashamed of having a son like you.You will never be king as long as Jesse’s son lives on this earth. And you will never have a kingdom either. So send someone to bring the son of Jesse to me. He must die!”“ Why do you want to put him to death?” Jonathan asked his father.“ What has he done?”But Saul threw his spear at Jonathan to kill him. Then Jonathan knew that his father wanted to kill David.So Jonathan got up from the table. He was very angry. On that second day of the feast, he refused to eat. He was very sad that his father was treating David so badly.

Please be kind to me. You have made a covenant with me in front of the Lord. If I’m guilty, kill me yourself! Don’t hand me over to your father!”

But suppose he wants to harm you. And I don’t let you know about it. Suppose I don’t help you get away in peace. Then may the Lord punish me greatly. May he be with you, just as he has been with my father.But always be kind to me, just as the Lord is. Be kind to me as long as I live. Then I won’t be killed.And never stop being kind to my family. Don’t stop even when the Lord has cut off every one of your enemies from the face of the earth.”So Jonathan made a covenant of friendship with David and his family. He said,“ May the Lord hold David’s enemies responsible for what they’ve done.”Jonathan had David promise his friendship again because he loved him. In fact, Jonathan loved David just as he loved himself.
