1 Samuel 20:13

13 Pero si mi padre intenta hacerte daño, y yo no te aviso para que puedas escapar, ¡que el SEÑOR me castigue sin piedad, y que esté contigo como estuvo con mi padre!

1 Samuel 20:13 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 20:13

The Lord do so and much more to Jonathan
Recompense evil more than can be thought of and expressed, should he neglect to inform David of the good disposition of Saul unto him:

but if it please my father [to do] thee evil;
if he seems determined upon it to take away thy life:

then I will show it thee;
not by a messenger, by whom it would not be safe to communicate it, lest by that means Saul would know where he was, and come and slay him; but Jonathan would come himself, and acquaint him with it:

and send thee away, that thou mayest go in peace;
give him leave, and advise him to depart, and provide for his own safety, adding his blessing on him, and prayer for him:

and the Lord be with thee, as he hath been with my father;
in the beginning of his reign, giving him counsel and advice in all things, and victory over his enemies, succeeding and prospering him in whatsoever he engaged in; the Targum is,

``the Word of the Lord be for thy help''

Jonathan seemed to be fully apprized that David was to succeed in the kingdom.

1 Samuel 20:13 In-Context

11 Por toda respuesta, Jonatán invitó a David a salir al campo. Una vez allí,

12 le dijo:—David, te juro por el SEÑOR, Dios de Israel, que a más tardar pasado mañana a esta hora averiguaré lo que piensa mi padre. Si no corres peligro, de alguna manera te lo haré saber.

13 Pero si mi padre intenta hacerte daño, y yo no te aviso para que puedas escapar, ¡que el SEÑOR me castigue sin piedad, y que esté contigo como estuvo con mi padre!

14 Y si todavía estoy vivo cuando el SEÑOR te muestre su bondad, te pido que también tú seas bondadoso conmigo y no dejes que me maten.

15 ¡Nunca dejes de ser bondadoso con mi familia, aun cuando el SEÑOR borre de la faz de la tierra a todos tus enemigos!
