If thy father at all miss me, then say, David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Bethlehem his city: for there is a yearly sacrifice there for all the family.(1 Samuel 20:6)
If he say thus, It is well; thy servant shall have peace: but if he be very wroth, then be sure that evil is determined by him.(1 Samuel 20:7)
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?(1 Samuel 20:8)
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?
Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me? or what if thy father answer thee roughly?(1 Samuel 20:10)
And Jonathan said unto David, Come, and let us go out into the field. And they went out both of them into the field.(1 Samuel 20:11)
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 show it thee;(1 Samuel 20:12)
