1 E Davi fugiu de Naiote que é em Ramá, e veio diante de Jônatas, e disse: Que fiz eu? qual é minha maldade, ou qual meu pecado contra teu pai, que ele busca minha vida?

2 E ele lhe disse: Em nenhuma maneira; não morrerás. Eis que meu pai nenhuma coisa fará, grande nem pequena, que não a revele a mim; por que pois me encobrirá meu pai este negócio? Não será assim.

3 E Davi voltou a jurar, dizendo: Teu pai sabe claramente que eu achei favor diante de teus olhos, e dirá: Não saiba isto Jônatas, para que não tenha pesar: e certamente, vive o SENHOR e vive tua alma, que apenas há um passo entre mim e a morte.
