New Testament

1 Samuel 20:14-19 New International Version (NIV)

14. But show me unfailing kindness like the Lord’s kindness as long as I live, so that I may not be killed,

15. and do not ever cut off your kindness from my family—not even when the Lord has cut off every one of David’s enemies from the face of the earth.”

16. So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, “May the Lord call David’s enemies to account.”

17. And Jonathan had David reaffirm his oath out of love for him, because he loved him as he loved himself.

18. Then Jonathan said to David, “Tomorrow is the New Moon feast. You will be missed, because your seat will be empty.

19. The day after tomorrow, toward evening, go to the place where you hid when this trouble began, and wait by the stone Ezel.
