1 Samuel 20:17

¹⁵thou shalt not withdraw thy mercy from my house forever: and if thou doest not, when the Lord cuts off the enemies of David each from the face of the earth,

¹⁶should it happen that the name of Jonathan be discovered by the house of David, then let the Lord seek out the enemies of David.

— 1 Samuel 20:17 —

¹⁸And Jonathan said, Tomorrow is the new moon, and thou wilt be inquired for, because thy seat will be observed as vacant.

¹⁹And thou shalt stay three days, and watch an opportunity, and shalt come to thy place where thou mayest hide thyself in the day of thy business, and thou shalt wait by that ergab.
