6And if thy father do in anywise inquire for me, then shalt thou say, David earnestly asked leave of me to run to Bethlehem his city, for there is there a yearly sacrifice for all the family.
7If he shall say thus, Well— all is safe for thy servant: but if he shall answer harshly to thee, know that evil is determined by him.
— 1 Samuel 20:8 —
9And Jonathan said, That be far from thee: for if I surely know that evil is determined by my father to come upon thee, although it should not be against thy cities, I will tell thee.
10And David said to Jonathan, Who can tell me if thy father should answer roughly?
