1 Samuel 19:5 in Context — 1 Samuel 19

3 E eu sairei e estarei junto a meu pai no campo de onde estiveres: e falarei de ti a meu pai, e te farei saber o que notar.

4 E Jônatas falou bem de Davi a Saul seu pai, e disse-lhe: Não peque o rei contra seu servo Davi, pois que nenhuma coisa cometeu contra ti: antes suas obras te foram muito boas;

5 Porque ele pôs sua alma em sua palma, e feriu ao filisteu, e o SENHOR fez uma grande salvação a todo Israel. Tu o viste, e te alegraste: por que, pois, pecarás contra o sangue inocente, matando a Davi sem causa?

6 E ouvindo Saul a voz de Jônatas, jurou: Vive o SENHOR, que não morrerá.

7 Chamando então Jônatas a Davi, declarou-lhe todas estas palavras; e ele mesmo apresentou Davi a Saul, e esteve diante dele como antes.
