4 Thus Jonathan aspoke well of David to Saul his father, and said to him, “Let not the king bsin against his servant, against David, because he has not sinned against you, and because his works have been very good toward you.
5 For he took his alife in his hands and bkilled the Philistine, and cthe Lord brought about a great deliverance for all Israel. You saw it and rejoiced. dWhy then will you esin against innocent blood, to kill David without a cause?”
6 So Saul heeded the voice of Jonathan, and Saul swore, “As the Lord lives, he shall not be killed.”
7 Then Jonathan called David, and Jonathan told him all these things. So Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence aas in times past.
8 And there was war again; and David went out and fought with the Philistines, aand struck them with a mighty blow, and they fled from him.
