1 Samuel 20:8 ASV

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?

⁹  And Jonathan said, Far be it from thee; for if I should at all know that evil were determined by my father to come upon thee, then would not I tell it thee?

¹⁰  Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me if perchance thy father answer thee roughly?
