Good News Bible

1 Samuel 20:30-34 Good News Bible (GNB)

30. Saul was furious with Jonathan and said to him, “How rebellious and faithless your mother was! Now I know you are taking sides with David and are disgracing yourself and that mother of yours!

31. Don't you realize that as long as David is alive, you will never be king of this country? Now go and bring him here — he must die!”

32. “Why should he die?” Jonathan replied. “What has he done?”

33. At that, Saul threw his spear at Jonathan to kill him, and Jonathan realized that his father was really determined to kill David.

34. Jonathan got up from the table in a rage and ate nothing that day — the second day of the New Moon Festival. He was deeply distressed about David, because Saul had insulted him.
