1 Samuel 20:16 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 20:16

So Jonathan made [a covenant] with the house of David
Not with David himself only, which was now renewed, but with his family also:

[saying], let the Lord even require [it] at the hand of David's
enemies;
take vengeance on Jonathan, or on any of his posterity, should they break this covenant, by showing themselves enemies to David, and his crown; and, on the other hand, also on David, and his posterity, should they not show kindness to Jonathan and his seed, according to the tenor of this covenant.

1 Samuel 20:16 In-Context

14 Si je dois vivre encore, veuille user envers moi de la bonté de l'Eternel; et si je meurs,

15 ne retire jamais ta bonté envers ma maison, pas même lorsque l'Eternel retranchera chacun des ennemis de David de dessus la face de la terre.

16 Car Jonathan a fait alliance avec la maison de David. Que l'Eternel tire vengeance des ennemis de David!

17 Jonathan protesta encore auprès de David de son affection pour lui, car il l'aimait comme son âme.

18 Jonathan lui dit: C'est demain la nouvelle lune; on remarquera ton absence, car ta place sera vide.
