Jonathan Intercedes For David

Wherefore then shouldest thou sin against innocent blood, and slay David for nought?" 6 And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan and sware, "As truly as the LORD liveth, he shall not die." 7 Then Jonathan called David and showed him all those words, and brought him to Saul. And he was in his presence as in times past.
