1 Samuel 20:29 in Context — 1 Samuel 20

27 O dia seguinte, o segundo dia da lua nova, aconteceu também que o assento de Davi estava vazio. E Saul disse a Jônatas seu filho: Por que não veio a comer o filho de Jessé hoje nem ontem?

28 E Jônatas respondeu a Saul: Davi me pediu encarecidamente lhe deixasse ir até Belém.

29 E disse: Rogo-te que me deixes ir, porque temos sacrifício os de nossa linhagem na cidade, e meu irmão mesmo me mandou; portanto, se achei graça em teus olhos, farei uma escapada agora, e visitarei a meus irmãos. Por isto, pois, não veio.

30 Então Saul se acendeu contra Jônatas, e disse-lhe: Filho da pervertida e rebelde! Não sei eu que tu escolheste ao filho de Jessé para vergonha tua, e para vergonha da nudez de tua mãe?

31 Porque todo o tempo que o filho de Jessé viver sobre a terra, nem tu serás firme, nem teu reino. Envia, pois, agora, e traze-o a mim, porque morrerá.
