Then Saul’s anger was aroused against Jonathan, and he said to him,“ You son of a perverse, rebellious woman! Do I not know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your own shame and to the shame of your mother’s nakedness?For as long as the son of Jesse lives on the earth, you shall not be established, nor your kingdom.

What has he done?”Then Saul cast a spear at him to kill him, by which Jonathan knew that it was determined by his father to kill David.
