1 Samuel 20:11 In-Context

9 Jonathan answered, "That's unthinkable! If I knew for sure that my father had decided to harm you, I would have told you about it."
10 Then David asked, "Who will tell me whether or not your father gives you a harsh answer?"
11 Jonathan said, "Let's go out into the country." So they went out into the country.
12 "As the LORD God of Israel [is my witness]," Jonathan continued, "I'll find out in the next two or three days how my father feels about you. If he does feel kindly toward you, then I will send someone to tell you.
13 If my father plans to harm you and I fail to tell you and send you away safely, may the LORD harm me even more. May the LORD be with you as he used to be with my father.
