1 Samuel 19:1–7
19 Saul told his son Jonathanm and all the attendants to killn David. But Jonathan had taken a great liking to David 2 and warned him, “My father Saul is looking for a chance to kill you. Be on your guard tomorrow morning; go into hidingo and stay there. 3 I will go out and stand with my father in the field where you are. I’ll speakp to him about you and will tell you what I find out.”
4 Jonathan spokeq well of David to Saul his father and said to him, “Let not the king do wrongr to his servant David; he has not wronged you, and what he has done has benefited you greatly. 5 He took his lifes in his hands when he killed the Philistine. The Lord won a great victoryt for all Israel, and you saw it and were glad. Why then would you do wrong to an innocentu man like David by killing him for no reason?”
6 Saul listened to Jonathan and took this oath: “As surely as the Lord lives, David will not be put to death.”
7 So Jonathan called David and told him the whole conversation. He brought him to Saul, and David was with Saul as before.v
