14 “Now if I am still alive, wouldn’t you show me the loyal love of Adonai so I wouldn’t die?
15 Yet also, don’t cut off your loyal love from my household ever—not even when Adonai cuts off all of David’s enemies from the face of the earth.”
16 So Jonathan cut a covenant with the house of David, “So may Adonai requite David’s enemies.”
17 Jonathan made David swear again because of the love he had for him, for he loved him as he loved himself.
18 Then Jonathan said to him, “Tomorrow is the New Moon. You’ll be missed because your seat will be empty.
19 On the third day, you must go down quickly and come to the place where you hid as you did on that day, and remain close to the stone Ezel.
20 I will shoot three arrows to the side of it, as though I were shooting at a target.
