09:020:008 Therefore thou shalt deal kindly with thy servant; for thou
           hast brought thy servant into a covenant of the lord with
           thee:  notwithstanding, if there be in me iniquity, slay me
           thyself; for why shouldest thou bring me to thy father?

09:020:009 And Jonathan said, Far be it from thee:  for if I knew
           certainly that evil were determined by my father to come upon
           thee, then would not I tell it thee?

09:020:010 Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me? or what if thy
           father answer thee roughly?

09:020:011 And Jonathan said unto David, Come, and let us go out into the
           field.  And they went out both of them into the field.

09:020:012 And Jonathan said unto David, O lord God of Israel, when I
           have sounded my father about to morrow any time, or the third
           day, and, behold, if there be good toward David, and I then
           send not unto thee, and shew it thee;

09:020:013 The lord do so and much more to Jonathan:  but if it please my
           father to do thee evil, then I will shew it thee, and send
           thee away, that thou mayest go in peace:  and the lord be with
           thee, as he hath been with my father.

09:020:014 And thou shalt not only while yet I live shew me the kindness
           of the lord, that I die not: 

09:020:015 But also thou shalt not cut off thy kindness from my house for
           ever:  no, not when the lord hath cut off the enemies of David
           every one from the face of the earth.

09:020:016 So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying,
           Let the lord even require it at the hand of David’s enemies.

09:020:017 And Jonathan caused David to swear again, because he loved
           him:  for he loved him as he loved his own soul.

09:020:018 Then Jonathan said to David, To morrow is the new moon:  and
           thou shalt be missed, because thy seat will be empty.

09:020:019 And when thou hast stayed three days, then thou shalt go down
           quickly, and come to the place where thou didst hide thyself
           when the business was in hand, and shalt remain by the stone
           Ezel.

09:020:020 And I will shoot three arrows on the side thereof, as though I
           shot at a mark.

09:020:021 And, behold, I will send a lad, saying, Go, find out the
           arrows.  If I expressly say unto the lad, Behold, the arrows
           are on this side of thee, take them; then come thou:  for there
           is peace to thee, and no hurt; as the lord liveth.

09:020:022 But if I say thus unto the young man, Behold, the arrows are
           beyond thee; go thy way:  for the lord hath sent thee away.
