David flees from Naioth in Ramah to Jonathan, and speaks of the new moon

라마 나욧에서 도망하여 온 다윗이 요나단에게 월삭의 일을 말함

1 Samuel 20:1–11: David flees from Naioth in Ramah, and comes and says to Jonathan, “What have I done? What is my iniquity? What is my sin before your father, that he seeks my life?” He says to him, “Far from it; you will not die. Behold, my father does nothing either great or small, but that he discloses it to me. Why would my father hide this thing from me? It is not so.” David swears moreover, and says, “Your father knows well that I have found favor in your eyes; and he says, ‘Don’t let Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved;’ but truly as the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, there is but a step between me and death.” Then Jonathan says to David, “Whatever your soul desires, I will even do it for you.” David says to Jonathan, “Behold, tomorrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to dine with the king; but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field to the third day at evening. If your father misses me at all, then say, ‘David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Bethlehem, his city; for it is the yearly sacrifice there for all the family.’ If he says, ‘It is well,’ your servant shall have peace; but if he is angry, then know that evil is determined by him. Therefore deal kindly with your servant, for you have brought your servant into a covenant of the LORD with you; but if there is iniquity in me, kill me yourself, for why should you bring me to your father?” Jonathan says, “Far be it from you; for if I should at all know that evil were determined by my father to come on you, then wouldn’t I tell you that?” Then David says to Jonathan, “Who will tell me if your father answers you roughly?” Jonathan says to David, “Come! Let’s go out into the field.” They both go out into the field.

    1David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said to Jonathan, “What have I done? What is my iniquity? What is my sin before your father, that he seeks my life?”

    2He said to him, “Far from it; you will not die. Behold, my father does nothing either great or small, but that he discloses it to me. Why would my father hide this thing from me? It is not so.”

    3David swore moreover, and said, “Your father knows well that I have found favor in your eyes; and he says, ‘Don’t let Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved;’ but truly as the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, there is but a step between me and death.”

    4Then Jonathan said to David, “Whatever your soul desires, I will even do it for you.”

    5David said to Jonathan, “Behold, tomorrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to dine with the king; but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field to the third day at evening.

    6If your father misses me at all, then say, ‘David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Bethlehem, his city; for it is the yearly sacrifice there for all the family.’

    7If he says, ‘It is well,’ your servant shall have peace; but if he is angry, then know that evil is determined by him.

    8Therefore deal kindly with your servant, for you have brought your servant into a covenant of the LORD with you; but if there is iniquity in me, kill me yourself, for why should you bring me to your father?”

    9Jonathan said, “Far be it from you; for if I should at all know that evil were determined by my father to come on you, then wouldn’t I tell you that?”

    10Then David said to Jonathan, “Who will tell me if your father answers you roughly?”

    11Jonathan said to David, “Come! Let’s go out into the field.” They both went out into the field.
