1 Samuel 20:2-5
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 20
2
He said to him, 'Far from it, you shall not die! Behold, my father does nothing either great or small without informing me. So why would my father hide this thing from me? It is not so!'
3
Yet David vowed again, saying, 'Your father is well aware that I have found favor in your sight, and he has said, ‘Jonathan is not to know this, otherwise he will be worried.’ But indeed as the
Lord
lives and as your soul lives, there is just a step between me and death.'
4
Then Jonathan said to David, 'Whatever you say, I will do for you.'
5
So David said to Jonathan, 'Behold, tomorrow is the new moon, and I am obligated to sit down to eat with the king. But let me go so that I may hide myself in the field until the third evening.
King James Version
Chapter 20
2
And he said unto him, God forbid; thou shalt not die: behold, my father will do nothing either great or small, but that he will shew it me: and why should my father hide this thing from me? it is not so.
3
And David sware moreover, and said, Thy father certainly knoweth that I have found grace in thine eyes; and he saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved: but truly as the
Lord
liveth, and as thy soul liveth, there is but a step between me and death.
4
Then said Jonathan unto David, Whatsoever thy soul desireth, I will even do it for thee.
5
And David said unto Jonathan, Behold, to morrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king at meat: but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field unto the third day at even.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 20
2
Jonathan said to him, "No, you won’t die. Listen, my father doesn’t do anything, great or small, without telling me. So why would he hide this matter from me? This can’t be true."
3
But David said, "Your father certainly knows that I have found favor with you. He has said, ‘Jonathan must not know of this, or else he will be grieved.’" David also swore, "As surely as the
Lord
lives and as you yourself live, there is but a step between me and death."
4
Jonathan said to David, "Whatever you say, I will do for you."
5
So David told him, "Look, tomorrow is the New Moon, and I’m supposed to sit down and eat with the king. Instead, let me go, and I’ll hide in the countryside for the next two nights.

Chapter 20
2
That’s not true!' Jonathan protested. 'You’re not going to die. He always tells me everything he’s going to do, even the little things. I know my father wouldn’t hide something like this from me. It just isn’t so!'
3
Then David took an oath before Jonathan and said, 'Your father knows perfectly well about our friendship, so he has said to himself, ‘I won’t tell Jonathan — why should I hurt him?’ But I swear to you that I am only a step away from death! I swear it by the
Lord
and by your own soul!'
4
Tell me what I can do to help you,' Jonathan exclaimed.
5
David replied, 'Tomorrow we celebrate the new moon festival. I’ve always eaten with the king on this occasion, but tomorrow I’ll hide in the field and stay there until the evening of the third day.

3
But David vowed again, saying, "Your father knows well that I have found favor in your eyes, and he thinks, ‘Do not let Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved.’ But truly, as the
Lord
lives and as your soul lives, there is but a step between me and death."
4
Then Jonathan said to David, "Whatever you say, I will do for you."
5
David said to Jonathan, "Behold, tomorrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to sit at table with the king. But let me go, that I may hide myself in the field till the third day at evening.

Chapter 20
2
"Never!" Jonathan replied. "You are not going to die! Look, my father doesn’t do anything, great or small, without letting me know. Why would he hide this from me? It isn’t so!"
3
But David took an oath and said, "Your father knows very well that I have found favor in your eyes, and he has said to himself, ‘Jonathan must not know this or he will be grieved.’ Yet as surely as the
Lord
lives and as you live, there is only a step between me and death."
4
Jonathan said to David, "Whatever you want me to do, I’ll do for you."
5
So David said, "Look, tomorrow is the New Moon feast, and I am supposed to dine with the king; but let me go and hide in the field until the evening of the day after tomorrow.
New King James Version
Chapter 20
2
So Jonathan said to him, “By no means! You shall not die! Indeed, my father will do nothing either great or small without first telling me. And why should my father hide this thing from me? It
is
not
so!
”
3
Then David took an oath again, and said, “Your father certainly knows that I have found favor in your eyes, and he has said, ‘Do not let Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved.’ But truly,
as
the
Lord
lives and
as
your soul lives,
there is
but a step between me and death.”
4
So Jonathan said to David, “Whatever you yourself desire, I will do
it
for you.”
5
And David said to Jonathan, “Indeed tomorrow
is
the New Moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king to eat. But let me go, that I may hide in the field until the third
day
at evening.
