20Now I am sure that you will be king of Israel and that the kingdom will continue under your rule. 21But promise me in the Lord’s name that you will spare my descendants, so that my name and my family’s name will not be completely forgotten.” 22David promised that he would.
Then Saul went back home, and David and his men went back to their hiding place.
