14 David abode in the wilderness in the strongholds, and remained in the hill-country in the wilderness of Ziph. Saul sought him every day, but God didn't deliver him into his hand.
15 David saw that Saul had come out to seek his life: and David was in the wilderness of Ziph in the wood.
16 Jonathan, Saul's son, arose, and went to David into the wood, and strengthened his hand in God.
17 He said to him, Don't be afraid; for the hand of Saul my father shall not find you; and you shall be king over Israel, and I shall be next to you; and that also Saul my father knows.
18 They two made a covenant before Yahweh: and David abode in the wood, and Jonathan went to his house.
