DavidJonathanSaul
AngerSin
Then Saul ordered his son Jonathan and all his servants to kill David. But Jonathan delighted greatly in David,

2 so he warned David, saying, “My father Saul intends to kill you. Be on your guard in the morning; find a secret place and hide there.

3 I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, so I can ask about you. And if I find out anything, I will tell you.”
