1 Samweli 20:1-3
1
Kisha Daudi akakimbia kutoka Nayothi huko Rama akamwendea Yonathani na kumuuliza, “Kwani nimefanya nini? Kosa langu ni nini? Nimemkosea baba yako kwa jinsi gani, hata kwamba anajaribu kuuondoa uhai wangu?”
2
Yonathani akajibu, “La hasha! Hutakufa! Tazama, baba yangu hafanyi kitu chochote, kikubwa au kidogo, bila kuniambia mimi. Kwa nini anifiche hili? Sivyo ilivyo!”
3
Lakini Daudi akaapa na kusema, “Baba yako anajua kabisa kwamba nimepata kibali mbele yako, naye amesema moyoni mwake, ‘Yonathani sharti asilijue hili, la sivyo atahuzunika.’ Lakini kweli kama Bwana aishivyo na kama uishivyo, kuna hatua moja tu kati yangu na mauti.”
