1 Samuel 20:6 ASV

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.

⁶  If thy father miss me at all, then say, David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Beth-lehem his city; for it is the yearly sacrifice there for all the family.

⁷  If he say thus, It is well; thy servant shall have peace: but if he be wroth, then know that evil is determined by him.

⁸  Therefore deal kindly with thy servant; for thou hast brought thy servant into a covenant of Jehovah with thee: but if there be in me iniquity, slay me thyself; for why shouldest thou bring me to thy father?
