12. Jonathan said to David, “I promise this before the Lord, the God of Israel: At this same time the day after tomorrow, I will find out how my father feels. If he feels good toward you, I will send word to you and let you know.
13. But if my father plans to hurt you, I will let you know and send you away safely. May the Lord punish me terribly if I don’t do this. And may the Lord be with you as he has been with my father.
14. But show me the kindness of the Lord as long as I live so that I may not die.
15. You must never stop showing your kindness to my family, even when the Lord has destroyed all your enemies from the earth.”
