Be on your guard in the morning; find a secret place and hide there. ³ I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, so I can ask about you. And if I find out anything, I will tell you.” ⁴ Then Jonathan spoke well of David to his father Saul and said to him, “The king should not sin against his servant David; he has not sinned against you. In fact, his actions have been highly beneficial to you. ⁵ He took his life in his hands when he struck down the Philistine, and the LORD worked a great salvation for all Israel. You saw it and rejoiced, so why would you sin against innocent blood by killing David for no reason?”
