1 Samuel 20:16 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Samuel 20:16

14 And you shall not only show me the kindness of the Lord while I still live, that I may not die;

15 but ^ayou shall not cut off your kindness from my² house forever, no, not when the Lord has cut off every one of the enemies of David from the face of the earth.”

16 So Jonathan made a covenant with the¹ house of David, saying, ^a“Let the Lord require it at the hand of David’s enemies.”

17 Now Jonathan again caused David to vow, because he loved him; ^afor he loved him as he loved his own soul.

18 Then Jonathan said to David, ^a“Tomorrow is the New Moon; and you will be missed, because your seat will be empty.
