1 Saul ordered his son Jonathan and all his servants to kill David, but Jonathan, Saul’s son, liked David very much.
2 So Jonathan warned David, "My father Saul is trying to kill you. Be on guard tomorrow morning. Stay somewhere safe and hide.
3 I’ll go out and stand by my father in the field where you’ll be. I’ll talk to my father about you, and I’ll tell you whatever I find out."
4 So Jonathan spoke highly about David to his father Saul, telling him, "The king shouldn’t do anything wrong to his servant David, because he hasn’t wronged you. In fact, his actions have helped you greatly.
