1 Samuel 20:11 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 20:11

And Jonathan said unto David, come, and let us go out into
the field
That they might more fully, and freely, and familiarly talk of this affair between them, without any danger of being overheard by the servants of Saul, as they were in his palace, where they now were:

and they went out both of them into the field;
which belonged to Gibeah.

1 Samuel 20:11 In-Context

9 "I would never do that!" Jonathan said. "Suppose I had even the smallest clue that my father had made up his mind to harm you. Then I would tell you."

10 David asked, "Who will tell me if your father answers you in a mean way?"

11 "Come on," Jonathan said. "Let's go out to the field." So they went there together.

12 Then Jonathan spoke to David. He said, "I promise you that I'll find out what my father is planning to do. I'll find out by this time the day after tomorrow. The Lord, the God of Israel, is my witness. Suppose my father feels kind toward you. Then I'll send you a message and let you know.

13 But suppose he wants to harm you. And I don't let you know about it. I don't help you get away safely. Then may the LORD punish me greatly. May he be with you, just as he has been with my father.
