1 Samuel 20:1 (GW)

David fled from the pastures at Ramah, came to Jonathan, and asked, “What have I done? What crime am I guilty of? What sin have I committed against your father that he’s trying to kill me?”

1 Samuel 20:2 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Jonathan answered, “That’s unthinkable! You’re not going to die! My father does nothing without telling me, whether it’s important or not. Why should my father hide this from me? It’s just not that way.”

1 Samuel 20:3 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
But David took an oath, saying, “Your father certainly knows that you support me, so he said to himself, ‘Jonathan must not know about this. It will bring him distress.’ But I solemnly swear, as the Lord and you live, I’m only one step away from death.”

1 Samuel 20:4 (GW)

Jonathan said to David, “I’ll do whatever you say.”

David replied, “Tomorrow is the New Moon Festival, when I should sit and eat at the king’s table. But let me go and hide in the countryside for two more nights.

If your father really misses me, tell him, ‘David repeatedly begged me to let him run to Bethlehem, his hometown, because his relatives are offering the annual sacrifice there.’

1 Samuel 20:7 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
If he says, ‘Good!’ then I will be safe. But if he gets really angry, then you’ll know for sure that he has decided to harm me.

1 Samuel 20:8 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Now, be kind to me. After all, you forced me into an agreement with the Lord. If I have committed any crime, kill me yourself. Why bother taking me to your father?”

1 Samuel 20:9 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Jonathan answered, “That’s unthinkable! If I knew for sure that my father had decided to harm you, I would have told you about it.”

1 Samuel 20:10 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Then David asked, “Who will tell me whether or not your father gives you a harsh answer?”

1 Samuel 20:11 (GW)

Jonathan said, “Let’s go out into the country.” So they went out into the country.

1 Samuel 20:12 (GW)

“As the Lord God of Israel is my witness,” Jonathan continued, “I’ll find out in the next two or three days how my father feels about you. If he does feel kindly toward you, then I will send someone to tell you.

1 Samuel 20:13 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
If my father plans to harm you and I fail to tell you and send you away safely, may the Lord harm me even more. May the Lord be with you as he used to be with my father.

1 Samuel 20:14 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
But as long as I live, promise me that you will show me kindness because of the Lord. And even when I die,

1 Samuel 20:15 (GW)

never stop being kind to my family. The Lord will wipe each of David’s enemies off the face of the earth.

1 Samuel 20:16 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
At that time, if Jonathan’s name is cut off from David’s family, then may the Lord punish David’s house.”

1 Samuel 20:17 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Once again Jonathan swore an oath to David because of his love for David. He loved David as much as he loved himself.

1 Samuel 20:18 (GW)

“Tomorrow is the New Moon Festival,” Jonathan told him, “and you will be missed when your seat is empty.

1 Samuel 20:19 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
The day after tomorrow you will be missed even more. So go to the place where you hid on that other occasion, and stay by the rock.

1 Samuel 20:20 (GW)

I will shoot three arrows from beside it toward a target.

1 Samuel 20:21 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Then I will send out a boy and say, ‘Go, find the arrows.’ Now, if I tell the boy, ‘Look, the arrows are next to you; get them,’ then come back with me. You will be safe, and there will be no trouble. I swear it, as the Lord lives.

1 Samuel 20:22 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
But if I tell the boy, ‘The arrows are next to you,’ then go, because the Lord has sent you away.

1 Samuel 20:23 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
We have made a promise to each other, and the Lord is a witness between you and me forever.”

1 Samuel 20:24 (GW)

So David hid in the countryside. When the New Moon Festival came, King Saul sat down to eat the festival meal.

1 Samuel 20:25 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
He sat in his usual seat by the wall, while Jonathan stood. Abner sat beside Saul, but David’s place was empty.

1 Samuel 20:26 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Saul didn’t say anything that day, thinking, “Something has happened to him so that he’s unclean. He must be unclean.”

1 Samuel 20:27 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
But on the second day of the month, David’s place was still empty. Saul asked his son Jonathan, “Why hasn’t Jesse’s son come to the meal either yesterday or today?”

1 Samuel 20:28 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Jonathan answered Saul, “David repeatedly begged me to let him go to Bethlehem.

1 Samuel 20:29 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
David said to me ‘Please let me go. Our relatives will offer a sacrifice in the city, and my brother ordered me to be there. If you will permit it, please let me go to see my brothers.’ This is why he hasn’t come to your banquet.”

1 Samuel 20:30 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Then Saul got angry with Jonathan. “Son of a crooked and rebellious woman!” he called Jonathan. “I know you’ve sided with Jesse’s son. You have no shame. You act as if you are your mother’s son but not mine.

1 Samuel 20:31 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
As long as Jesse’s son lives on earth, neither you nor your right to be king is secure. Now, send some men to bring him to me. He’s a dead man!”

1 Samuel 20:32 (GW)

Jonathan asked his father, “Why should he be killed? What has he done?”

1 Samuel 20:33 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Saul raised his spear to strike him. Then Jonathan knew his father was determined to kill David.

1 Samuel 20:34 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Jonathan got up from the table very angry and ate nothing that second day of the month. He was worried sick about David because Jonathan had been humiliated by his own father.

1 Samuel 20:35 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
In the morning Jonathan went out to the country to the place he and David had agreed on. Jonathan had a young boy with him.

1 Samuel 20:36 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
“Run,” he told the boy, “please find the arrows I shoot.” The boy ran, and Jonathan shot the arrow over him.

1 Samuel 20:37 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
When the boy reached the place where Jonathan’s arrow had landed, Jonathan called after him, “The arrows are next to you!”

1 Samuel 20:38 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Jonathan added, “Quick! Hurry up! Don’t stand there!” Jonathan’s young servant gathered the arrows and came to his master.

1 Samuel 20:39 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
The boy had no idea what was going on, but Jonathan and David understood.

1 Samuel 20:40 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Then Jonathan gave his weapons to the boy. He told the boy, “Take them back into town.”

1 Samuel 20:41 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
When the boy had left, David came out from the south side of the rock and quickly bowed down three times with his face touching the ground. Then they kissed each other and cried together, but David cried the loudest.

1 Samuel 20:42 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
“Go in peace!” Jonathan told David. “We have both taken an oath in the Lord’s name, saying, ‘The Lord will be a witness between me and you and between my descendants and your descendants forever.’” So David left, and Jonathan went into the city.
