1 Samuel 23:17-21
English Standard Version
Chapter 23
17And he said to him, "Do not fear, for the hand of Saul my father shall not find you. You shall be king over Israel, and I shall be next to you. Saul my father also knows this." 18And the two of them made a covenant before the Lord. David remained at Horesh, and Jonathan went home.
19Then the Ziphites went up to Saul at Gibeah, saying, "Is not David hiding among us in the strongholds at Horesh, on the hill of Hachilah, which is south of Jeshimon?
20Now come down, O king, according to all your heart 's desire to come down, and our part shall be to surrender him into the king 's hand."
21And Saul said, "May you be blessed by the Lord, for you have had compassion on me.
