1  And David¹⁷³² fled¹²⁷² from Naioth^{4480 5121} in Ramah,⁷⁴¹⁴ and came⁹³⁵ and said⁵⁵⁹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Jonathan,³⁰⁸³ What⁴¹⁰⁰ have I done?⁶²¹³ what⁴¹⁰⁰ is mine iniquity?⁵⁷⁷¹ and what⁴¹⁰⁰ is my sin²⁴⁰³ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ thy father,¹ that³⁵⁸⁸ he seeketh^{1245 853} my life?⁵³¹⁵

2  And he said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, God forbid;²⁴⁸⁶ thou shalt not³⁸⁰⁸ die:⁴¹⁹¹ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ my father¹ will do⁶²¹³ nothing^{3808 1697} either great¹⁴¹⁹ or¹⁷⁶ small,⁶⁹⁹⁶ but that he will show^{3808 1540} it ⁸⁵³ me:²⁴¹ and why⁴⁰⁶⁹ should my father¹ hide^{5641 853} this²⁰⁸⁸ thing¹⁶⁹⁷ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ me? it²⁰⁶³ is not³⁶⁹ so.

3  And David¹⁷³² swore⁷⁶⁵⁰ moreover,⁵⁷⁵⁰ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Thy father¹ certainly knoweth^{3045 3045} that³⁵⁸⁸ I have found⁴⁶⁷² grace²⁵⁸⁰ in thine eyes;⁵⁸⁶⁹ and he saith,⁵⁵⁹ Let not⁴⁰⁸ Jonathan³⁰⁸³ know³⁰⁴⁵ this,²⁰⁶³ lest⁶⁴³⁵ he be grieved:⁶⁰⁸⁷ but truly¹⁹⁹ as the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ liveth,²⁴¹⁶ and as thy soul⁵³¹⁵ liveth,²⁴¹⁶ there³⁵⁸⁸ is but a step⁶⁵⁸⁷ between⁹⁹⁶ me and death.⁴¹⁹⁴

4  Then said⁵⁵⁹ Jonathan³⁰⁸³ unto⁴¹³ David,¹⁷³² Whatsoever⁴¹⁰⁰ thy soul⁵³¹⁵ desireth,⁵⁵⁹ I will even do⁶²¹³ it for thee.

5  And David¹⁷³² said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Jonathan,³⁰⁸³ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ tomorrow⁴²⁷⁹ is the new moon,²³²⁰ and I⁵⁹⁵ should not fail to sit^{3427 3427} with⁵⁹⁷³ the king⁴⁴²⁸ at meat:³⁹⁸ but let me go,⁷⁹⁷¹ that I may hide myself⁵⁶⁴¹ in the field⁷⁷⁰⁴ unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ the third⁷⁹⁹² day at even.⁶¹⁵³

6  If⁵¹⁸ thy father¹ at all miss^{6485 6485} me, then say,⁵⁵⁹ David¹⁷³² earnestly asked^{7592 7592} leave of⁴⁴⁸⁰ me that he might run⁷³²³ to Bethlehem¹⁰³⁵ his city:⁵⁸⁹² for³⁵⁸⁸ there is a yearly³¹¹⁷ sacrifice²⁰⁷⁷ there⁸⁰³³ for all³⁶⁰⁵ the family.⁴⁹⁴⁰

7  If⁵¹⁸ he say⁵⁵⁹ thus,³⁵⁴¹ It is well;²⁸⁹⁶ thy servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ shall have peace:⁷⁹⁶⁵ but if⁵¹⁸ he be very wroth,^{2734 2734} then be sure³⁰⁴⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ is determined³⁶¹⁵ by^{4480 5973} him.

8  Therefore thou shalt deal⁶²¹³ kindly²⁶¹⁷ with⁵⁹²¹ thy servant;⁵⁶⁵⁰ for³⁵⁸⁸ thou hast brought^{935 853} thy servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ into a covenant¹²⁸⁵ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ with⁵⁹⁷³ thee: notwithstanding, if⁵¹⁸ there be³⁴²⁶ in me iniquity,⁵⁷⁷¹ slay⁴¹⁹¹ me thyself;⁸⁵⁹ for⁵⁷⁰⁴ why⁴¹⁰⁰ shouldest thou bring⁹³⁵ me to thy father?¹

9  And Jonathan³⁰⁸³ said,⁵⁵⁹ Far be it²⁴⁸⁶ from thee: for³⁵⁸⁸ if⁵¹⁸ I knew certainly^{3045 3045} that³⁵⁸⁸ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ were determined³⁶¹⁵ by^{4480 5973} my father¹ to come⁹³⁵ upon⁵⁹²¹ thee, then would not³⁸⁰⁸ I tell⁵⁰⁴⁶ it thee?

10  Then said⁵⁵⁹ David¹⁷³² to⁴¹³ Jonathan,³⁰⁸³ Who⁴³¹⁰ shall tell⁵⁰⁴⁶ me? or¹⁷⁶ what⁴¹⁰⁰ if thy father¹ answer⁶⁰³⁰ thee roughly?⁷¹⁸⁶

11  And Jonathan³⁰⁸³ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ David,¹⁷³² Come,¹⁹⁸⁰ and let us go out³³¹⁸ into the field.⁷⁷⁰⁴ And they went out³³¹⁸ both⁸¹⁴⁷ of them into the field.⁷⁷⁰⁴

12  And Jonathan³⁰⁸³ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ David,¹⁷³² O LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ when³⁵⁸⁸ I have sounded^{2713 853} my father¹ about tomorrow⁴²⁷⁹ any time,⁶²⁵⁶ or the third⁷⁹⁹² day, and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ if there be good²⁸⁹⁶ toward⁴¹³ David,¹⁷³² and I then²²⁷ send⁷⁹⁷¹ not³⁸⁰⁸ unto⁴¹³ thee, and show it thee;^{1540 853 241}

13  The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ do⁶²¹³ so³⁵⁴¹ and much³⁵⁴¹ more³²⁵⁴ to Jonathan:³⁰⁸³ but if³⁵⁸⁸ it please^{3190 413} my father¹ to do thee ⁸⁵³ evil,⁷⁴⁵¹ then I will show it thee,^{1540 853 241} and send thee away,⁷⁹⁷¹ that thou mayest go¹⁹⁸⁰ in peace:⁷⁹⁶⁵ and the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ be¹⁹⁶¹ with⁵⁹⁷³ thee, as⁸³⁴ he hath been¹⁹⁶¹ with⁵⁹⁷³ my father.¹

14  And thou shalt not³⁸⁰⁸ only while⁵¹⁸ yet⁵⁷⁵⁰ I live²⁴¹⁶ show^{6213 5973} me the kindness²⁶¹⁷ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ that I die⁴¹⁹¹ not:³⁸⁰⁸

15  But also thou shalt not³⁸⁰⁸ cut off^{3772 853} thy kindness²⁶¹⁷ from^{4480 5973} my house¹⁰⁰⁴ forever:^{5704 5769} no, not³⁸⁰⁸ when the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath cut off^{3772 853} the enemies³⁴¹ of David¹⁷³² every one³⁷⁶ from the face^{4480 5921 6440} of the earth.¹²⁷

16  So Jonathan³⁰⁸³ made³⁷⁷² a covenant with⁵⁹⁷³ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of David,¹⁷³² saying, Let the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ even require¹²⁴⁵ it at the hand^{4480 3027} of David's¹⁷³² enemies.³⁴¹

17  And Jonathan³⁰⁸³ caused ⁸⁵³ David¹⁷³² to swear⁷⁶⁵⁰ again,³²⁵⁴ because he loved¹⁶⁰ him: for³⁵⁸⁸ he loved¹⁵⁷ him as he loved¹⁶⁰ his own soul.⁵³¹⁵

18  Then Jonathan³⁰⁸³ said⁵⁵⁹ to David, Tomorrow⁴²⁷⁹ is the new moon:²³²⁰ and thou shalt be missed,⁶⁴⁸⁵ because³⁵⁸⁸ thy seat⁴¹⁸⁶ will be empty.⁶⁴⁸⁵

19  And when thou hast stayed three days,⁸⁰²⁷ then thou shalt go down³³⁸¹ quickly,³⁹⁶⁶ and come⁹³⁵ to⁴¹³ the place⁴⁷²⁵ where⁸³⁴ thou didst hide thyself⁵⁶⁴¹ when^{8033 3117} the business⁴⁶³⁹ was in hand, and shalt remain³⁴²⁷ by⁶⁸¹ the stone⁶⁸ Ezel.²³⁷

20  And I⁵⁸⁹ will shoot³³⁸⁴ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ arrows²⁶⁷¹ on the side⁶⁶⁵⁴ thereof, as though I shot⁷⁹⁷¹ at a mark.⁴³⁰⁷

21  And, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I will send^{7971 853} a lad,⁵²⁸⁸ saying, Go,¹⁹⁸⁰ find out^{4672 853} the arrows.²⁶⁷¹ If⁵¹⁸ I expressly say^{559 559} unto the lad,⁵²⁸⁸ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ the arrows²⁶⁷¹ are on this side^{4480 2008} of thee, take³⁹⁴⁷ them; then come⁹³⁵ thou: for³⁵⁸⁸ there is peace⁷⁹⁶⁵ to thee, and no³⁶⁹ hurt;¹⁶⁹⁷ as the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ liveth.²⁴¹⁶

22  But if⁵¹⁸ I say⁵⁵⁹ thus³⁵⁴¹ unto the young man,⁵⁹⁵⁸ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ the arrows²⁶⁷¹ are beyond^{4480 1973} thee; go thy way:¹⁹⁸⁰ for³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath sent thee away.⁷⁹⁷¹

23  And as touching the matter¹⁶⁹⁷ which⁸³⁴ thou⁸⁵⁹ and I⁵⁸⁹ have spoken¹⁶⁹⁶ of, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ be between⁹⁹⁶ thee and me forever.^{5704 5769}

24  So David¹⁷³² hid himself⁵⁶⁴¹ in the field:⁷⁷⁰⁴ and when the new moon²³²⁰ was come,¹⁹⁶¹ the king⁴⁴²⁸ sat him down³⁴²⁷ to eat³⁹⁸ meat.³⁸⁹⁹

25  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ sat³⁴²⁷ upon⁵⁹²¹ his seat,⁴¹⁸⁶ as at other times,^{6471 6471} even upon⁴¹³ a seat⁴¹⁸⁶ by the wall:⁷⁰²³ and Jonathan³⁰⁸³ arose,⁶⁹⁶⁵ and Abner⁷⁴ sat³⁴²⁷ by Saul's⁷⁵⁸⁶ side,^{4480 6654} and David's¹⁷³² place⁴⁷²⁵ was empty.⁶⁴⁸⁵

26  Nevertheless Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ not³⁸⁰⁸ any thing³⁹⁷² that¹⁹³¹ day:³¹¹⁷ for³⁵⁸⁸ he thought,⁵⁵⁹ Something hath befallen⁴⁷⁴⁵ him, he¹⁹³¹ is not¹¹¹⁵ clean;²⁸⁸⁹ surely³⁵⁸⁸ he is not³⁸⁰⁸ clean.²⁸⁸⁹

27  And it came to pass¹⁹⁶¹ on the morrow,^{4480 4283} which was the second⁸¹⁴⁵ day of the month,²³²⁰ that David's¹⁷³² place⁴⁷²⁵ was empty:⁶⁴⁸⁵ and Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Jonathan³⁰⁸³ his son,¹¹²¹ Wherefore⁴⁰⁶⁹ cometh⁹³⁵ not³⁸⁰⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Jesse³⁴⁴⁸ to⁴¹³ meat,³⁸⁹⁹ neither¹⁵⁷¹ yesterday,⁸⁵⁴³ nor¹⁵⁷¹ today?³¹¹⁷

28  And Jonathan³⁰⁸³ answered^{6030 853} Saul,⁷⁵⁸⁶ David¹⁷³² earnestly asked^{7592 7592} leave of^{4480 5973} me to go to⁵⁷⁰⁴ Bethlehem:¹⁰³⁵

29  And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Let me go,⁷⁹⁷¹ I pray thee;⁴⁹⁹⁴ for³⁵⁸⁸ our family⁴⁹⁴⁰ hath a sacrifice²⁰⁷⁷ in the city;⁵⁸⁹² and my brother,²⁵¹ he¹⁹³¹ hath commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ me to be there: and now,⁶²⁵⁸ if⁵¹⁸ I have found⁴⁶⁷² favor²⁵⁸⁰ in thine eyes,⁵⁸⁶⁹ let me get away,⁴⁴²² I pray thee,⁴⁹⁹⁴ and see^{7200 853} my brethren.²⁵¹ Therefore^{5921 3651} he cometh⁹³⁵ not³⁸⁰⁸ unto⁴¹³ the king's⁴⁴²⁸ table.⁷⁹⁷⁹

30  Then Saul's⁷⁵⁸⁶ anger⁶³⁹ was kindled²⁷³⁴ against Jonathan,³⁰⁸³ and he said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Thou son¹¹²¹ of the perverse⁵⁷⁵³ rebellious⁴⁷⁸⁰ woman, do not³⁸⁰⁸ I know³⁰⁴⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ thou⁸⁵⁹ hast chosen⁹⁷⁷ the son¹¹²¹ of Jesse³⁴⁴⁸ to thine own confusion,¹³²² and unto the confusion¹³²² of thy mother's⁵¹⁷ nakedness?⁶¹⁷²

31  For³⁵⁸⁸ as long^{3605 3117} as⁸³⁴ the son¹¹²¹ of Jesse³⁴⁴⁸ liveth²⁴¹⁶ upon⁵⁹²¹ the ground,¹²⁷ thou⁸⁵⁹ shalt not³⁸⁰⁸ be established,³⁵⁵⁹ nor thy kingdom.⁴⁴³⁸ Wherefore now⁶²⁵⁸ send⁷⁹⁷¹ and fetch^{3947 853} him unto⁴¹³ me, for³⁵⁸⁸ he¹⁹³¹ shall surely die.^{1121 4194}

32  And Jonathan³⁰⁸³ answered^{6030 853} Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ his father,¹ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ him, Wherefore⁴¹⁰⁰ shall he be slain?⁴¹⁹¹ what⁴¹⁰⁰ hath he done?⁶²¹³

33  And Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ cast^{2904 853} a javelin²⁵⁹⁵ at⁵⁹²¹ him to smite⁵²²¹ him: whereby Jonathan³⁰⁸³ knew³⁰⁴⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ it¹⁹³¹ was determined³⁶¹⁵ of^{4480 5973} his father¹ to slay^{4191 853} David.¹⁷³²

34  So Jonathan³⁰⁸³ arose⁶⁹⁶⁵ from^{4480 5973} the table⁷⁹⁷⁹ in fierce²⁷⁵⁰ anger,⁶³⁹ and did eat³⁹⁸ no³⁸⁰⁸ meat³⁸⁹⁹ the second⁸¹⁴⁵ day³¹¹⁷ of the month:²³²⁰ for³⁵⁸⁸ he was grieved⁶⁰⁸⁷ for⁴¹³ David,¹⁷³² because³⁵⁸⁸ his father¹ had done him shame.³⁶³⁷

35  And it came to pass¹⁹⁶¹ in the morning,¹²⁴² that Jonathan³⁰⁸³ went out³³¹⁸ into the field⁷⁷⁰⁴ at the time appointed⁴¹⁵⁰ with David,¹⁷³² and a little⁶⁹⁹⁶ lad⁵²⁸⁸ with⁵⁹⁷³ him.

36  And he said⁵⁵⁹ unto his lad,⁵²⁸⁸ Run,⁷³²³ find out⁴⁶⁷² now^{4994 853} the arrows²⁶⁷¹ which⁸³⁴ I⁵⁹⁵ shoot.³³⁸⁴ And as the lad⁵²⁸⁸ ran,⁷³²³ he¹⁹³¹ shot³³⁸⁴ an arrow²⁶⁷⁸ beyond⁵⁶⁷⁴ him.

37  And when the lad⁵²⁸⁸ was come⁹³⁵ to⁵⁷⁰⁴ the place⁴⁷²⁵ of the arrow²⁶⁷⁸ which⁸³⁴ Jonathan³⁰⁸³ had shot,³³⁸⁴ Jonathan³⁰⁸³ cried⁷¹²¹ after³¹⁰ the lad,⁵²⁸⁸ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Is not³⁸⁰⁸ the arrow²⁶⁷⁸ beyond^{4480 1973} thee?

38  And Jonathan³⁰⁸³ cried⁷¹²¹ after³¹⁰ the lad,⁵²⁸⁸ Make speed,²³⁶³ haste,⁴¹²⁰ stay⁵⁹⁷⁵ not.⁴⁰⁸ And Jonathan's³⁰⁸³ lad⁵²⁸⁸ gathered up^{3950 853} the arrows,²⁶⁷⁸ and came⁹³⁵ to⁴¹³ his master.¹¹³

39  But the lad⁵²⁸⁸ knew³⁰⁴⁵ not³⁸⁰⁸ any thing:³⁹⁷² only³⁸⁹ Jonathan³⁰⁸³ and David¹⁷³² knew^{3045 853} the matter.¹⁶⁹⁷

40  And Jonathan³⁰⁸³ gave^{5414 853} his artillery³⁶²⁷ unto⁴¹³ his⁸³⁴ lad,⁵²⁸⁸ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Go,¹⁹⁸⁰ carry⁹³⁵ them to the city.⁵⁸⁹²

41  And as soon as the lad⁵²⁸⁸ was gone,⁹³⁵ David¹⁷³² arose⁶⁹⁶⁵ out of a place toward^{4480 681} the south,⁵⁰⁴⁵ and fell⁵³⁰⁷ on his face⁶³⁹ to the ground,⁷⁷⁶ and bowed himself⁷⁸¹² three⁷⁹⁶⁹ times:⁶⁴⁷¹ and they kissed⁵⁴⁰¹ one^{376 853} another,⁷⁴⁵³ and wept¹⁰⁵⁸ one³⁷⁶ with⁸⁵⁴ another,⁷⁴⁵³ until⁵⁷⁰⁴ David¹⁷³² exceeded.¹⁴³¹

42  And Jonathan³⁰⁸³ said⁵⁵⁹ to David,¹⁷³² Go¹⁹⁸⁰ in peace,⁷⁹⁶⁵ forasmuch as⁸³⁴ we have sworn⁷⁶⁵⁰ both⁸¹⁴⁷ of us⁵⁸⁷ in the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹ The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ be¹⁹⁶¹ between⁹⁹⁶ me and thee, and between⁹⁹⁶ my seed²²³³ and thy seed²²³³ forever.^{5704 5769} And he arose⁶⁹⁶⁵ and departed:¹⁹⁸⁰ and Jonathan³⁰⁸³ went⁹³⁵ into the city.⁵⁸⁹²

1 καὶ ἀπέδρα Δαυιδ ἐκ Ναυαθ ἐν Ραμα καὶ ἔρχεται ἐνώπιον Ιωναθαν καὶ εἶπεν τί πεποίηκα καὶ τί τὸ ἀδίκημά μου καὶ τί ἡμάρτηκα ἐνώπιον τοῦ πατρός σου ὅτι ἐπιζητεῖ τὴν ψυχήν μου

2 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ιωναθαν μηδαμῶς σοι οὐ μὴ ἀποθάνῃς ἰδοὺ οὐ μὴ ποιήσῃ ὁ πατήρ μου ῥῆμα μέγα ἢ μικρὸν καὶ οὐκ ἀποκαλύψει τὸ ὠτίον μου καὶ τί ὅτι κρύψει ὁ πατήρ μου τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο οὐκ ἔστιν τοῦτο

3 καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Δαυιδ τῷ Ιωναθαν καὶ εἶπεν γινώσκων οἶδεν ὁ πατήρ σου ὅτι εὕρηκα χάριν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου καὶ εἶπεν μὴ γνώτω τοῦτο Ιωναθαν μὴ οὐ βούληται ἀλλὰ ζῇ κύριος καὶ ζῇ ἡ ψυχή σου ὅτι καθὼς εἶπον ἐμπέπλησται ἀνὰ μέσον μου καὶ τοῦ θανάτου

4 καὶ εἶπεν Ιωναθαν πρὸς Δαυιδ τί ἐπιθυμεῖ ἡ ψυχή σου καὶ τί ποιήσω σοι

5 καὶ εἶπεν Δαυιδ πρὸς Ιωναθαν ἰδοὺ δὴ νεομηνία αὔριον καὶ ἐγὼ καθίσας οὐ καθήσομαι μετὰ τοῦ βασιλέως φαγεῖν καὶ ἐξαποστελεῖς με καὶ κρυβήσομαι ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ ἕως δείλης

6 ἐὰν ἐπισκεπτόμενος ἐπισκέψηταί με ὁ πατήρ σου καὶ ἐρεῖς παραιτούμενος παρῃτήσατο ἀπ᾽ ἐμοῦ Δαυιδ δραμεῖν ἕως εἰς Βηθλεεμ τὴν πόλιν αὐτοῦ ὅτι θυσία τῶν ἡμερῶν ἐκεῖ ὅλῃ τῇ φυλῇ

7 ἐὰν τάδε εἴπῃ ἀγαθῶς εἰρήνη τῷ δούλῳ σου καὶ ἐὰν σκληρῶς ἀποκριθῇ σοι γνῶθι ὅτι συντετέλεσται ἡ κακία παρ᾽ αὐτοῦ

8 καὶ ποιήσεις ἔλεος μετὰ τοῦ δούλου σου ὅτι εἰσήγαγες εἰς διαθήκην κυρίου τὸν δοῦλόν σου μετὰ σεαυτοῦ καὶ εἰ ἔστιν ἀδικία ἐν τῷ δούλῳ σου θανάτωσόν με σύ καὶ ἕως τοῦ πατρός σου ἵνα τί οὕτως εἰσάγεις με

9 καὶ εἶπεν Ιωναθαν μηδαμῶς σοι ὅτι ἐὰν γινώσκων γνῶ ὅτι συντετέλεσται ἡ κακία παρὰ τοῦ πατρός μου τοῦ ἐλθεῖν ἐπὶ σέ καὶ ἐὰν μή εἰς τὰς πόλεις σου ἐγὼ ἀπαγγελῶ σοι

10 καὶ εἶπεν Δαυιδ πρὸς Ιωναθαν τίς ἀπαγγελεῖ μοι ἐὰν ἀποκριθῇ ὁ πατήρ σου σκληρῶς

11 καὶ εἶπεν Ιωναθαν πρὸς Δαυιδ πορεύου καὶ μένε εἰς ἀγρόν καὶ ἐκπορεύονται ἀμφότεροι εἰς ἀγρόν

12 καὶ εἶπεν Ιωναθαν πρὸς Δαυιδ κύριος ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ οἶδεν ὅτι ἀνακρινῶ τὸν πατέρα μου ὡς ἂν ὁ καιρὸς τρισσῶς καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀγαθὸν ᾖ περὶ Δαυιδ καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀποστείλω πρὸς σὲ εἰς ἀγρόν

13 τάδε ποιήσαι ὁ θεὸς τῷ Ιωναθαν καὶ τάδε προσθείη ὅτι ἀνοίσω τὰ κακὰ ἐπὶ σὲ καὶ ἀποκαλύψω τὸ ὠτίον σου καὶ ἐξαποστελῶ σε καὶ ἀπελεύσῃ εἰς εἰρήνην καὶ ἔσται κύριος μετὰ σοῦ καθὼς ἦν μετὰ τοῦ πατρός μου

14 καὶ μὲν ἔτι μου ζῶντος καὶ ποιήσεις ἔλεος μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ καὶ ἐὰν θανάτῳ ἀποθάνω

15 οὐκ ἐξαρεῖς ἔλεός σου ἀπὸ τοῦ οἴκου μου ἕως τοῦ αἰῶνος καὶ εἰ μὴ ἐν τῷ ἐξαίρειν κύριον τοὺς ἐχθροὺς Δαυιδ ἕκαστον ἀπὸ προσώπου τῆς γῆς

16 ἐξαρθῆναι τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ Ιωναθαν ἀπὸ τοῦ οἴκου Δαυιδ καὶ ἐκζητήσαι κύριος ἐχθροὺς τοῦ Δαυιδ

17 καὶ προσέθετο ἔτι Ιωναθαν ὀμόσαι τῷ Δαυιδ ὅτι ἠγάπησεν ψυχὴν ἀγαπῶντος αὐτόν

18 καὶ εἶπεν Ιωναθαν αὔριον νουμηνία καὶ ἐπισκεπήσῃ ὅτι ἐπισκεπήσεται καθέδρα σου

19 καὶ τρισσεύσεις καὶ ἐπισκέψῃ καὶ ἥξεις εἰς τὸν τόπον σου οὗ ἐκρύβης ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἐργασίμῃ καὶ καθήσῃ παρὰ τὸ εργαβ ἐκεῖνο

20 καὶ ἐγὼ τρισσεύσω ταῖς σχίζαις ἀκοντίζων ἐκπέμπων εἰς τὴν αματταρι

21 καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀποστελῶ τὸ παιδάριον λέγων δεῦρο εὑρέ μοι τὴν σχίζαν ἐὰν εἴπω λέγων τῷ παιδαρίῳ ὧδε ἡ σχίζα ἀπὸ σοῦ καὶ ὧδε λαβὲ αὐτήν παραγίνου ὅτι εἰρήνη σοι καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν λόγος ζῇ κύριος

22 ἐὰν τάδε εἴπω τῷ νεανίσκῳ ὧδε ἡ σχίζα ἀπὸ σοῦ καὶ ἐπέκεινα πορεύου ὅτι ἐξαπέσταλκέν σε κύριος

23 καὶ τὸ ῥῆμα ὃ ἐλαλήσαμεν ἐγὼ καὶ σύ ἰδοὺ κύριος μάρτυς ἀνὰ μέσον ἐμοῦ καὶ σοῦ ἕως αἰῶνος

24 καὶ κρύπτεται Δαυιδ ἐν ἀγρῷ καὶ παραγίνεται ὁ μήν καὶ ἔρχεται ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐπὶ τὴν τράπεζαν τοῦ φαγεῖν

25 καὶ ἐκάθισεν ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐπὶ τὴν καθέδραν αὐτοῦ ὡς ἅπαξ καὶ ἅπαξ ἐπὶ τῆς καθέδρας παρὰ τοῖχον καὶ προέφθασεν τὸν Ιωναθαν καὶ ἐκάθισεν Αβεννηρ ἐκ πλαγίων Σαουλ καὶ ἐπεσκέπη ὁ τόπος Δαυιδ

26 καὶ οὐκ ἐλάλησεν Σαουλ οὐδὲν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ὅτι εἶπεν σύμπτωμα φαίνεται μὴ καθαρὸς εἶναι ὅτι οὐ κεκαθάρισται

27 καὶ ἐγενήθη τῇ ἐπαύριον τοῦ μηνὸς τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ δευτέρᾳ καὶ ἐπεσκέπη ὁ τόπος τοῦ Δαυιδ καὶ εἶπεν Σαουλ πρὸς Ιωναθαν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ τί ὅτι οὐ παραγέγονεν ὁ υἱὸς Ιεσσαι καὶ ἐχθὲς καὶ σήμερον ἐπὶ τὴν τράπεζαν

28 καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Ιωναθαν τῷ Σαουλ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ παρῄτηται Δαυιδ παρ᾽ ἐμοῦ ἕως εἰς Βηθλεεμ τὴν πόλιν αὐτοῦ πορευθῆναι

29 καὶ εἶπεν ἐξαπόστειλον δή με ὅτι θυσία τῆς φυλῆς ἡμῖν ἐν τῇ πόλει καὶ ἐνετείλαντο πρός με οἱ ἀδελφοί μου καὶ νῦν εἰ εὕρηκα χάριν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου διασωθήσομαι δὴ καὶ ὄψομαι τοὺς ἀδελφούς μου διὰ τοῦτο οὐ παραγέγονεν ἐπὶ τὴν τράπεζαν τοῦ βασιλέως

30 καὶ ἐθυμώθη ὀργῇ Σαουλ ἐπὶ Ιωναθαν σφόδρα καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ υἱὲ κορασίων αὐτομολούντων οὐ γὰρ οἶδα ὅτι μέτοχος εἶ σὺ τῷ υἱῷ Ιεσσαι εἰς αἰσχύνην σου καὶ εἰς αἰσχύνην ἀποκαλύψεως μητρός σου

31 ὅτι πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας ἃς ὁ υἱὸς Ιεσσαι ζῇ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς οὐχ ἑτοιμασθήσεται ἡ βασιλεία σου νῦν οὖν ἀποστείλας λαβὲ τὸν νεανίαν ὅτι υἱὸς θανάτου οὗτος

32 καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Ιωναθαν τῷ Σαουλ ἵνα τί ἀποθνῄσκει τί πεποίηκεν

33 καὶ ἐπῆρεν Σαουλ τὸ δόρυ ἐπὶ Ιωναθαν τοῦ θανατῶσαι αὐτόν καὶ ἔγνω Ιωναθαν ὅτι συντετέλεσται ἡ κακία αὕτη παρὰ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ θανατῶσαι τὸν Δαυιδ

34 καὶ ἀνεπήδησεν Ιωναθαν ἀπὸ τῆς τραπέζης ἐν ὀργῇ θυμοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἔφαγεν ἐν τῇ δευτέρᾳ τοῦ μηνὸς ἄρτον ὅτι ἐθραύσθη ἐπὶ τὸν Δαυιδ ὅτι συνετέλεσεν ἐπ᾽ αὐτὸν ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ

35 καὶ ἐγενήθη πρωὶ καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Ιωναθαν εἰς ἀγρόν καθὼς ἐτάξατο εἰς τὸ μαρτύριον Δαυιδ καὶ παιδάριον μικρὸν μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ

36 καὶ εἶπεν τῷ παιδαρίῳ δράμε εὑρέ μοι τὰς σχίζας ἐν αἷς ἐγὼ ἀκοντίζω καὶ τὸ παιδάριον ἔδραμε καὶ αὐτὸς ἠκόντιζε τῇ σχίζῃ καὶ παρήγαγεν αὐτήν

37 καὶ ἦλθεν τὸ παιδάριον ἕως τοῦ τόπου τῆς σχίζης οὗ ἠκόντιζεν Ιωναθαν καὶ ἀνεβόησεν Ιωναθαν ὀπίσω τοῦ νεανίου καὶ εἶπεν ἐκεῖ ἡ σχίζα ἀπὸ σοῦ καὶ ἐπέκεινα

38 καὶ ἀνεβόησεν Ιωναθαν ὀπίσω τοῦ παιδαρίου αὐτοῦ λέγων ταχύνας σπεῦσον καὶ μὴ στῇς καὶ ἀνέλεξεν τὸ παιδάριον Ιωναθαν τὰς σχίζας πρὸς τὸν κύριον αὐτοῦ

39 καὶ τὸ παιδάριον οὐκ ἔγνω οὐθέν πάρεξ Ιωναθαν καὶ Δαυιδ ἔγνωσαν τὸ ῥῆμα

40 καὶ Ιωναθαν ἔδωκεν τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸ παιδάριον αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν τῷ παιδαρίῳ αὐτοῦ πορεύου εἴσελθε εἰς τὴν πόλιν

41 καὶ ὡς εἰσῆλθεν τὸ παιδάριον καὶ Δαυιδ ἀνέστη ἀπὸ τοῦ εργαβ καὶ ἔπεσεν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ καὶ προσεκύνησεν αὐτῷ τρίς καὶ κατεφίλησεν ἕκαστος τὸν πλησίον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔκλαυσεν ἕκαστος τῷ πλησίον αὐτοῦ ἕως συντελείας μεγάλης

42 καὶ εἶπεν Ιωναθαν πορεύου εἰς εἰρήνην καὶ ὡς ὀμωμόκαμεν ἡμεῖς ἀμφότεροι ἐν ὀνόματι κυρίου λέγοντες κύριος ἔσται μάρτυς ἀνὰ μέσον ἐμοῦ καὶ σοῦ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ σπέρματός μου καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ σπέρματός σου ἕως αἰῶνος

1 Fugit autem David de Najoth, quæ est in Ramatha, veniensque locutus est coram Jonatha: Quid feci? quæ est iniquitas mea, et quod peccatum meum in patrem tuum, quia quærit animam meam?

2 Qui dixit ei: Absit, non morieris: neque enim faciet pater meus quidquam grande vel parvum, nisi prius indicaverit mihi: hunc ergo celavit me pater meus sermonem tantummodo? nequaquam erit istud.

3 Et juravit rursum Davidi. Et ille ait: Scit profecto pater tuus quia inveni gratiam in oculis tuis, et dicet: Nesciat hoc Jonathas, ne forte tristetur. Quinimmo vivit Dominus, et vivit anima tua, quia uno tantum (ut ita dicam) gradu ego morsque dividimur.

4 Et ait Jonathas ad David: Quodcumque dixerit mihi anima tua, faciam tibi.

5 Dixit autem David ad Jonathan: Ecce calendæ sunt crastino, et ego ex more sedere soleo juxta regem ad vescendum: dimitte ergo me ut abscondar in agro usque ad vesperam diei tertiæ.

6 Si respiciens requisierit me pater tuus, respondebis ei: Rogavit me David ut iret celeriter in Bethlehem civitatem suam, quia victimæ solemnes ibi sunt universis contribulibus suis.

7 Si dixerit: Bene: pax erit servo tuo. Si autem fuerit iratus, scito quia completa est malitia ejus.

8 Fac ergo misericordiam in servum tuum, quia fœdus Domini me famulum tuum tecum inire fecisti: si autem est iniquitas aliqua in me, tu me interfice, et ad patrem tuum ne introducas me.

9 Et ait Jonathas: Absit hoc a te: neque enim fieri potest, ut si certe cognovero completam esse patris mei malitiam contra te, non annuntiem tibi.

10 Responditque David ad Jonathan: Quis renuntiabit mihi, si quid forte responderit tibi pater tuus dure de me?

11 Et ait Jonathas ad David: Veni, et egrediamur foras in agrum. Cumque exissent ambo in agrum,

12 ait Jonathas ad David: Domine Deus Israël, si investigavero sententiam patris mei crastino vel perendie, et aliquid boni fuerit super David, et non statim misero ad te, et notum tibi fecero,

13 hæc faciat Dominus Jonathæ, et hæc addat. Si autem perseveraverit patris mei malitia adversum te, revelabo aurem tuam, et dimittam te, ut vadas in pace, et sit Dominus tecum, sicut fuit cum patre meo.

14 Et si vixero, facies mihi misericordiam Domini: si vero mortuus fuero,

15 non auferes misericordiam tuam a domo mea usque in sempiternum, quando eradicaverit Dominus inimicos David, unumquemque de terra: auferat Jonathan de domo sua, et requirat Dominus de manu inimicorum David.

16 Pepigit ergo Jonathas fœdus cum domo David: et requisivit Dominus de manu inimicorum David.

17 Et addidit Jonathas dejerare David, eo quod diligeret illum: sicut enim animam suam, ita diligebat eum.

18 Dixitque ad eum Jonathas: Cras calendæ sunt, et requireris:

19 requiretur enim sessio tua usque perendie. Descendes ergo festinus, et venies in locum ubi celandus es in die qua operari licet, et sedebis juxta lapidem cui nomen est Ezel.

20 Et ego tres sagittas mittam juxta eum, et jaciam quasi exercens me ad signum.

21 Mittam quoque et puerum, dicens ei: Vade, et affer mihi sagittas.

22 Si dixero puero: Ecce sagittæ intra te sunt, tolle eas: tu veni ad me, quia pax tibi est, et nihil est mali, vivit Dominus. Si autem sic locutus fuero puero: Ecce sagittæ ultra te sunt: vade in pace, quia dimisit te Dominus.

23 De verbo autem quod locuti sumus ego et tu, sit Dominus inter me et te usque in sempiternum.

24 Absconditus est ergo David in agro, et venerunt calendæ, et sedit rex ad comedendum panem.

25 Cumque sedisset rex super cathedram suam (secundum consuetudinem) quæ erat juxta parietem, surrexit Jonathas, et sedit Abner ex latere Saul: vacuusque apparuit locus David.

26 Et non est locutus Saul quidquam in die illa: cogitabat enim quod forte evenisset ei, ut non esset mundus, nec purificatus.

27 Cumque illuxisset dies secunda post calendas, rursus apparuit vacuus locus David. Dixitque Saul ad Jonathan filium suum: Cur non venit filius Isai nec heri nec hodie ad vescendum?

28 Responditque Jonathas Sauli: Rogavit me obnixe ut iret in Bethlehem,

29 et ait: Dimitte me, quoniam sacrificium solemne est in civitate, unus de fratribus meis accersivit me: nunc ergo si inveni gratiam in oculis tuis, vadam cito, et videbo fratres meos. Ob hanc causam non venit ad mensam regis.

30 Iratus autem Saul adversum Jonathan, dixit ei: Fili mulieris virum ultro rapientis, numquid ignoro quia diligis filium Isai in confusionem tuam, et in confusionem ignominiosæ matris tuæ?

31 Omnibus enim diebus quibus filius Isai vixerit super terram, non stabilieris tu, neque regnum tuum. Itaque jam nunc mitte, et adduc eum ad me: quia filius mortis est.

32 Respondens autem Jonathas Sauli patri suo, ait: Quare morietur? quid fecit?

33 Et arripuit Saul lanceam ut percuteret eum. Et intellexit Jonathas quod definitum esset a patre suo, ut interficeret David.

34 Surrexit ergo Jonathas a mensa in ira furoris, et non comedit in die calendarum secunda panem. Contristatus est enim super David, eo quod confudisset eum pater suus.

35 Cumque illuxisset mane, venit Jonathas in agrum juxta placitum David, et puer parvulus cum eo.

36 Et ait ad puerum suum: Vade, et affer mihi sagittas quas ego jacio. Cumque puer cucurrisset, jecit aliam sagittam trans puerum.

37 Venit itaque puer ad locum jaculi quod miserat Jonathas: et clamavit Jonathas post tergum pueri, et ait: Ecce ibi est sagitta porro ultra te.

38 Clamavitque iterum Jonathas post tergum pueri, dicens: Festina velociter, ne steteris. Collegit autem puer Jonathæ sagittas, et attulit ad dominum suum:

39 et quid ageretur, penitus ignorabat, tantummodo enim Jonathas et David rem noverant.

40 Dedit ergo Jonathas arma sua puero, et dixit ei: Vade, et defer in civitatem.

41 Cumque abiisset puer, surrexit David de loco qui vergebat ad austrum, et cadens pronus in terram, adoravit tertio: et osculantes se alterutrum, fleverunt pariter, David autem amplius.

42 Dixit ergo Jonathas ad David: Vade in pace: quæcumque juravimus ambo in nomine Domini, dicentes: Dominus sit inter me et te, et inter semen meum et semen tuum usque in sempiternum.

43 Et surrexit David, et abiit: sed et Jonathas ingressus est civitatem.
