1 Samuel 20:28-33

[28] And Jonathan  answered  Saul,  David  earnestly  leave of me  to go to Bethlehem:  [29] And he said,  Let me go,  I pray thee; for our family  hath a sacrifice  in the city;  and my brother,  he hath commanded  me to be there: and now, if I have found  favour  in thine eyes,  let me get away,  I pray thee, and see  my brethren.  Therefore he cometh  not unto the king's  table.  [30] Then Saul's  anger  was kindled  against Jonathan,  and he said  unto him, Thou son  of the perverse  rebellious  woman, do not I know  that thou hast chosen  the son  of Jesse  to thine own confusion,  of thy mother's  nakedness?  [31] For as long as  the son  of Jesse  upon the ground,  thou shalt not be established,  nor thy kingdom.  Wherefore now send  and fetch  him unto me, for he shall surely die.  [32] And Jonathan  answered  Saul  his father,  and said  unto him, Wherefore shall he be slain?  what hath he done?  [33] And Saul  cast  a javelin  at him to smite  him: whereby Jonathan  knew  that it was determined  of his father  to slay  David.
