1 Samuel 20:13-17

Listen to 1 Samuel 20:13-17
13 so tue der HERR dem Jonathan dies und jenes. Wenn aber das Böse meinem Vater gefällt wider dich, so will ich's auch vor deinen Ohren offenbaren und dich ziehen lassen, daß du mit Frieden weggehst. Und der HERR sei mit dir, wie er mit meinem Vater gewesen ist.
14 Tue ich's nicht, so tue keine Barmherzigkeit des HERRN an mir, solange ich lebe, auch nicht, so ich sterbe.
15 Und wenn der HERR die Feinde Davids ausrotten wird, einen jeglichen aus dem Lande, so reiße du deine Barmherzigkeit nicht von meinem Hause ewiglich.
16 Also machte Jonathan einen Bund mit dem Hause Davids und sprach: Der HERR fordere es von der Hand der Feinde Davids.
17 Und Jonathan fuhr fort und schwur David, so lieb hatte er ihn; denn er hatte ihn so lieb wie seine Seele.

1 Samuel 20:13-17 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO FIRST SAMUEL 20

David fleeing from Naioth came to Jonathan, and acquainted him with his circumstances, and entreated his favour, 1Sa 20:1-8; which Jonathan promised, and renewed the covenant with him, 1Sa 20:9-17; a scheme was formed between them, by which David might know whether Saul was reconciled to him, and he might come to court, 1Sa 20:18-23; which being tried, Jonathan found it was not safe for him to appear, 1Sa 20:24-34; of which he gave notice by the signals agreed on, 1Sa 20:35-40; and they took their leave of one another with strong expressions of affection and attachment to each other, 1Sa 20:41,42.
