Jonathan Intercedes For David

On the contrary, his actions have been very beneficial for you. 5 He risked his life when he struck down the Philistine and the Lord gave all Israel a great victory. When you saw it, you were happy. So why would you sin against innocent blood by putting David to death for no reason?" 6 Saul accepted Jonathan's advice and took an oath, "As surely as the Lord lives, he will not be put to death."
