16. So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, And the Lord shall require it at the hand of David's enemies.
17. And Jonathan caused David to swear again, for the love that he had to him: for he loved him as he loved his own soul.
18. Then Jonathan said unto him, Tomorrow is the new moon: and thou shalt be missed, because thy seat will be empty.
19. And when thou hast stayed three days, thou shalt go down quickly, and come to the place where thou didst hide thyself when the business was in hand, and shalt remain by the stone Ezel.
