3 And Jonʹa·than and David proceeded to conclude a covenant,+ because of his loving him as his own soul.+

42 And Jonʹa·than went on to say to David: “Go in peace,+ since we have sworn,+ both of us, in the name of Jehovah, saying, ‘May Jehovah himself prove to be between me and you and between my offspring and your offspring to time indefinite.’”*+

Accordingly David* rose up and went his way, and Jonʹa·than himself came into the city.

8 For YOU have conspired, all of YOU, against me; and there is no one disclosing it to my ear+ when my own son concludes [a covenant]+ with the son of Jesʹse, and there is no one of YOU having sympathy for me* and disclosing to my ear that my own son has raised up my own servant against me as a lier in ambush* the way it is this day.”

7 However, the king felt compassion upon Me·phibʹo·sheth+ the son of Jonʹa·than the son of Saul on account of the oath+ of Jehovah that was between them, between David and Jonʹa·than the son of Saul.
