1 Samuel 23:16-18

Common English Bible

¹⁶ Saul’s son Jonathan came to David at Horesh and encouraged him with God. ¹⁷ Jonathan said to him, “Don’t be afraid! My father Saul’s hand won’t touch you. You will be king over Israel, and I will be your second in command. Even my father Saul knows this.” ¹⁸ Then the two of them made a covenant before the Lord. David stayed at Horesh, but Jonathan went back home.
