16. But Saul’s son Jonathan went to see David at Horesh and encouraged him to have a stronger faith in God.
17. Jonathan told David, “Don’t be afraid. My father Saul won’t hurt you. You will become the king of Israel, and I will be second to you. Even my father knows this.”
18. Jonathan and David both made an agreement before the Lord. Then Jonathan went home, and David stayed at Horesh.
19. Some people from Ziph went to Saul at Gibeah and told him, “David is hiding in our area. He is at the fortresses of Horesh on Hakilah Hill, south of Jeshimon.
20. Now, King, come down any time you want. It is our duty to give David to you.”
