1 Sam. 20:2      1 Sam. 20:4

First Samuel 20:3

But David swore again and said, "Your father knows very well that I have found favor (undeserved love – Hebr. chen) in your eyes. He says, 'Do not let Jonathan know this, lest he be saddened,' and as surely as the Lord (Yahweh) lives and as you yourself (your soul) live, there is only one step between me and death."

καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Δαυιδ τῷ Ιωναθαν καὶ εἶπεν γινώσκων οἶδεν ὁ πατήρ σου ὅτι εὕρηκα χάριν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου καὶ εἶπεν μὴ γνώτω τοῦτο Ιωναθαν μὴ οὐ βούληται ἀλλὰ ζῇ κύριος καὶ ζῇ ἡ ψυχή σου ὅτι καθὼς εἶπον ἐμπέπλησται ἀνὰ μέσον μου καὶ τοῦ θανάτου
