4 So Jonʹa·than spoke well of David+ to his father Saul. He said to him: “The king should not sin against his servant David, for he has not sinned against you and what he has done for you has benefited you. 5 He risked his life* to strike down the Phi·lisʹtine,+ so that Jehovah brought about a great victory* for all Israel. You saw it, and you were overjoyed. So why should you sin against innocent blood in having David put to death for no reason?”+

33 At that Saul hurled the spear at him to strike him,+ so Jonʹa·than knew that his father was determined to put David to death.+

20 Should good be repaid with bad?

For they have dug a pit for my life.*+
