Page 1 / 2 (1Sa 14:6–2Sa 9:7)
Jonathan said to the attendant who carried his weapons, “Come on, let’s cross over to the garrison of these uncircumcised men. Perhaps the LORD will help us. Nothing can keep the LORD from saving, whether by many or by few.”
“All right,” Jonathan replied, “we’ll cross over to the men and then let them see us.
When David had finished speaking with Saul, Jonathan was bound to David in close friendship,[fn] and loved him as much as he loved himself.
Then Jonathan removed the robe he was wearing and gave it to David, along with his military tunic, his sword, his bow, and his belt.
so he told him, “My father, Saul, intends to kill you. Be on your guard in the morning and hide in a secret place and stay there.
Jonathan spoke well of David to his father, Saul. He said to him, “The king should not sin against his servant David. He hasn’t sinned against you; in fact, his actions have been a great advantage to you.
Saul listened to Jonathan’s advice and swore an oath: “As surely as the LORD lives, David will not be killed.”
So Jonathan summoned David and told him all these words. Then Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he served him as he did before.
David fled from Naioth in Ramah and came to Jonathan and asked, “What have I done? What did I do wrong? How have I sinned against your father so that he wants to take my life? ”
But David said, “Your father certainly knows that I have found favor with you. He has said, ‘Jonathan must not know of this, or else he will be grieved.’ ” David also swore, “As surely as the LORD lives and as you yourself live, there is but a step between me and death.”
So David told him, “Look, tomorrow is the New Moon, and I’m supposed to sit down and eat with the king. Instead, let me go, and I’ll hide in the countryside for the next two nights.[fn]
“No! ” Jonathan responded. “If I ever find out my father has evil intentions against you, wouldn’t I tell you about it? ”
He answered David, “Come on, let’s go out to the countryside.” So both of them went out to the countryside.
“By the LORD, the God of Israel, I will sound out my father by this time tomorrow or the next day. If I find out that he is favorable toward you, will I not send for you and tell you?
“If my father intends to bring evil on you, may the LORD punish Jonathan and do so severely if I do not tell you and send you away so you may leave safely. May the LORD be with you, just as he was with my father.
Then Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, “May the LORD hold David’s enemies accountable.”[fn]
Jonathan once again swore to David[fn] in his love for him, because he loved him as he loved himself.
Then Jonathan said to him, “Tomorrow is the New Moon; you’ll be missed because your seat will be empty.
He sat at his usual place on the seat by the wall. Jonathan sat facing him[fn] and Abner took his place beside Saul, but David’s place was empty.
However, the day after the New Moon, the second day, David’s place was still empty, and Saul asked his son Jonathan, “Why didn’t Jesse’s son come to the meal either yesterday or today? ”
Then Saul became angry with Jonathan and shouted, “You son of a perverse and rebellious woman! Don’t I know that you are siding with Jesse’s son to your own shame and to the disgrace of your mother?[fn]
Then Saul threw his spear at Jonathan to kill him, so he knew that his father was determined to kill David.
He got up from the table fiercely angry and did not eat any food that second day of the New Moon, for he was grieved because of his father’s shameful behavior toward David.
In the morning Jonathan went out to the countryside for the appointed meeting with David. A young servant was with him.
He came to the location of the arrow that Jonathan had shot, but Jonathan called to him and said, “The arrow is beyond you, isn’t it? ”
Then Jonathan called to him, “Hurry up and don’t stop! ” Jonathan’s servant picked up the arrow and returned to his master.
Then Jonathan gave his equipment to the servant who was with him and said, “Go, take it back to the city.”
Jonathan then said to David, “Go in the assurance the two of us pledged in the name of the LORD when we said, ‘The LORD will be a witness between you and me and between my offspring and your offspring forever.’ ” Then David left, and Jonathan went into the city.
Then Saul’s son Jonathan came to David in Horesh and encouraged him in his faith[fn] in God,
Then the two of them made a covenant in the LORD’s presence. Afterward, David remained in Horesh, while Jonathan went home.
The Philistines pursued Saul and his sons and killed his sons, Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua.
“What was the outcome? Tell me,” David asked him.
“The troops fled from the battle,” he answered. “Many of the troops have fallen and are dead. Also, Saul and his son Jonathan are dead.”
David asked the young man who had brought him the report, “How do you know Saul and his son Jonathan are dead? ”
They mourned, wept, and fasted until the evening for those who died by the sword — for Saul, his son Jonathan, the LORD’s people, and the house of Israel.
Saul and Jonathan,
loved and delightful,
they were not parted in life or in death.
They were swifter than eagles, stronger than lions.
How the mighty have fallen in the thick of battle!
Jonathan lies slain on your heights.
I grieve for you, Jonathan, my brother.
You were such a friend to me.
Your love for me was more wondrous
than the love of women.
Saul’s son Jonathan had a son whose feet were crippled. He was five years old when the report about Saul and Jonathan came from Jezreel. His nanny picked him up and fled, but as she was hurrying to flee, he fell and became lame. His name was Mephibosheth.
David asked, “Is there anyone remaining from the family of Saul I can show kindness to for Jonathan’s sake? ”
So the king asked, “Is there anyone left of Saul’s family that I can show the kindness of God to? ”
Ziba said to the king, “There is still Jonathan’s son who was injured in both feet.”
Mephibosheth son of Jonathan son of Saul came to David, fell facedown, and paid homage. David said, “Mephibosheth! ”
“I am your servant,” he replied.
