1 Samuel 20:13 Context
11¶ And Ionathan said vnto Dauid, Come, and let vs goe out into the field. And they went out both of them into the field. 12And Ionathan said vnto Dauid, O Lord God of Israel, when I haue sounded my father, about to morrow any time, or the third day, and behold, if there be good toward Dauid, and I then send not vnto thee, and shew it thee; 13The Lord doe so and much more to Ionathan: but if it please my father to doe thee euill, then I wil shew it thee, and send thee away, that thou mayest goe in peace, and the Lord be with thee, as hee hath beene with my father. 14And thou shalt not onely while yet I liue, shew me the kindnesse of the Lord, that I die not: 15But also thou shalt not cut off thy kindnesse from my house for euer: no not when the Lord hath cut off the enemies of Dauid, euery one from the face of the earth.
