1 SAMUEL CHAPTER 20 David complaineth to Jonathan of Saul: he comforteth him; can hardly believe what David saith of his father; promiseth to give him notice how his absence was taken: they renew a covenant of friendship, and swear to each other, 1 Samuel 20:1-17. Their sign, 1 Samuel 20:18-23. Saul asketh for David at the feast of the new moon, 1 Samuel 20:24-27. Jonathan execuseth David: Saul incensed hereat, revileth Jonathan, and seeketh to kill him, 1 Samuel 20:28-34. Jonathan advertiseth David, 1 Samuel 20:35-40. They part with tears, 1 Samuel 20:41,42. David fled, whilst Saul lay in an ecstasy, from Naioth in Ramah to Gibeah, where Jonathan was, taking the opportunity of Saul's absence. What is my sin before thy father? what is it which thus incenseth thy father against me? what crime doth he charge me with? That he seeketh my life, to wit, to destroy it, as this phrase is oft used, as 1 Samuel 22:23 Psalms 38:12, Psalms 54:3 63:9.
