GIGAKJVAnd David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, What have I done? What is my wrongdoing? And what is my sin before your father, that he seeks my life?

KJVAnd 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.

GIGAKJVAnd he said to him, God forbid. You shall not die. My father will do nothing either great or small, without telling me: and why should my father hide this thing from me? It is not so.

KJVAnd 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.

GIGAKJVAnd David swore also, and said, Your father certainly knows that I have found grace in your eyes. He says, Do not let Jonathan know this, or else he will be grieved: but truly as the Lord lives, and as your soul lives, there is but a step between me and death.

KJVThen said Jonathan unto David, Whatsoever thy soul desireth, I will even do it for thee.

GIGAKJVThen Jonathan said to David, Whatever your soul desires, I will even do it for you.

KJVAnd 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.

KJVIf he say thus, It is well; thy servant shall have peace: but if he be very wroth, then be sure that evil is determined by him.

GIGAKJVIf he say this, It is well. Your servant shall have peace: but if he is very angry, then be sure that evil is determined by him.

KJVTherefore thou shalt deal kindly with thy servant; for thou hast brought thy servant into a covenant of the Lord with thee: notwithstanding, if there be in me iniquity, slay me thyself; for why shouldest thou bring me to thy father?

GIGAKJVTherefore you shall deal kindly with your servant. For you have brought your servant into a covenant of the Lord with you: but, if there is in me wrongdoing, kill me yourself. For why should you bring me to your father?

KJVAnd Jonathan said, Far be it from thee: for if I knew certainly that evil were determined by my father to come upon thee, then would not I tell it thee?

GIGAKJVAnd Jonathan said, Far be it from you. For if I knew certainly that evil were determined by my father to come on you, would I not tell you?

KJVThen said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me? or what if thy father answer thee roughly?

GIGAKJVAnd you shall not only while yet I live show me the kindness of the Lord, that I do not die:
