1 Samuel 20:14-16

International Standard Version

¹⁴ If I remain alive, don’t fail to show me the Lord’s gracious love so that I don’t die. ¹⁵ And don’t stop showing your gracious love to my family forever, not even when the Lord eliminates each of David’s enemies from the surface of the earth.” ¹⁶ Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David: “May the Lord punish any violation of this covenant by the hand of David’s enemies.”^[a]
