1. Saul told his son Jonathan and all his officials that he planned to kill David. But Jonathan was very fond of David,
2. and so he said to him, “My father is trying to kill you. Please be careful tomorrow morning; hide in some secret place and stay there.
3. I will go and stand by my father in the field where you are hiding, and I will speak to him about you. If I find out anything, I will let you know.”
4. Jonathan praised David to Saul and said, “Sir, don't do wrong to your servant David. He has never done you any wrong; on the contrary, everything he has done has been a great help to you.
