1 Samuel 19:5-7

Living Bible

⁵ Have you forgotten about the time he risked his life to kill Goliath, and how the Lord brought a great victory to Israel as a result? You were certainly happy about it then. Why should you now murder an innocent man? There is no reason for it at all!”

⁶ Finally Saul agreed and vowed, “As the Lord lives, he shall not be killed.”

⁷ Afterwards Jonathan called David and told him what had happened. Then he took David to Saul and everything was as it had been before.
