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.

4 E Jônatas disse a Davi: Que diga tua alma, e eu o farei por ti?

5 E Davi respondeu a Jônatas: Eis que amanhã será nova lua, e eu costumo sentar-me com o rei a comer: mas tu deixarás que me esconda no campo até à tarde do terceiro dia.

6 Se teu pai fizer menção de mim, dirás: Rogo-me muito que o deixasse ir logo a Belém sua cidade, porque todos os de sua linhagem têm ali sacrifício anual.

7 Se ele disser, Está bem, teu servo terá paz; mas se se irar, sabe que a malícia está nele completa.
