32 Then Jonathan, answering his father Saul, said: 'Why should he die? What has he done?'
33 And Saul picked up a lance, so that he might strike him. And Jonathan understood that it had been decided by his father that David be put to death.

35 And when the morning had begun to dawn, Jonathan went into the field according to the agreement with David, and a young boy was with him.
