1 Samuel 20:2

2 —¡No es cierto! —contestó Jonatán—. No vas a morir. Mi padre siempre me cuenta todo lo que piensa hacer, aun las cosas más pequeñas. Sé que mi padre no me ocultaría algo como esto. ¡Sencillamente no es cierto!

1 Samuel 20:2 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 20:2

And he said unto him, God forbid, thou shalt not die
He could not believe his father had any such intention; and that if he discovered anything of that kind, it was only when he was in a frenzy, and a melancholy disorder had seized him; and that David had nothing to fear on that head, and that he would secure him from all danger in that respect; the thing was too gross and detestable to be credited:

behold, my father will do nothing, either great or small, but that he
will show it me;
such an interest had he in him, and in his favour, being his son and heir to his crown, and having done many warlike exploits, which had the more endeared him to him, that he made him privy to all his secret designs, and took his opinion in all matters of moment and importance:

and why should my father hide this thing from me?
his design of taking away the life of David, if he had really formed one:

it [is] not [so];
Jonathan concluded, from his ignorance of it, there was nothing in it, and that it was only a surmise of David's; and yet it is strange that Jonathan should know nothing of the messengers being sent to David's house to take him, and of others sent to Naioth after him, and of Saul's going there himself with such a design; and if he did know anything of the matter, he made the best of it to David, partly to allay his fears, and partly that his father might not appear so black and vile as he really was.

1 Samuel 20:2 In-Context

1 Jonatán ayuda a David
En ese momento David huyó de Naiot de Ramá y encontró a Jonatán.
—¿Qué he hecho? —exclamó—. ¿Cuál es mi delito? ¿Cómo ofendí a tu padre para que esté tan decidido a matarme?

2 —¡No es cierto! —contestó Jonatán—. No vas a morir. Mi padre siempre me cuenta todo lo que piensa hacer, aun las cosas más pequeñas. Sé que mi padre no me ocultaría algo como esto. ¡Sencillamente no es cierto!

3 Entonces David hizo un juramento delante de Jonatán y le dijo:
—Tu padre sabe perfectamente bien acerca de nuestra amistad, por lo tanto, se dijo a sí mismo: “No le diré nada a Jonatán, ¿para qué lastimarlo?”. ¡Pero te juro que estoy a solo un paso de la muerte! ¡Te lo juro por el Señor
y por tu propia alma!

4 —Dime cómo puedo ayudarte —exclamó Jonatán.

5 —Mañana celebraremos el festival de luna nueva —respondió David—. Siempre he comido con el rey en esa ocasión, pero mañana me esconderé en el campo y me quedaré allí hasta la tarde del tercer día.
