1 Samuel 19:3-5

Christian Standard Bible

³ I’ll go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are and talk to him about you. When I see what he says, I’ll tell you.”^(A)

⁴ Jonathan spoke well of David to his father, Saul. He said to him, “The king should not sin against his servant David.^(B) He hasn’t sinned against you; in fact, his actions have been a great advantage to you. ⁵ He took his life in his hands when he struck down the Philistine,^(C) and the Lord brought about a great victory for all Israel.^(D) You saw it and rejoiced, so why would you sin against innocent blood by killing David for no reason?” ^(E)
