Jonathan told David, saying, "Saul my father seeks to kill you. Now therefore, please take care of yourself in the morning, and live in a secret place, and hide yourself.

And thou shalt not only while yet I live shew me the kindness of the LORD, that I die not:

Then say, "May you live long. Peace to you, peace to your family, and peace to all that you have.
