1 Samuel 20:3-5
Contemporary English Version
3 “Jonathan, I swear it's true! But your father knows how much you like me, and he didn't want to break your heart. That's why he didn't tell you. I swear by the living Lord and by your own life that I'm only one step ahead of death.”
4 Then Jonathan said, “Tell me what to do, and I'll do it.”
5 (A) David answered:
Tomorrow is the New Moon Festival,[a] and I'm supposed to eat dinner with your father. But instead, I'll hide in a field until the evening of the next day.
