ગુજરાતી1 શમુએલ ૨૦:૨
યોનાથાને દાઉદને કહ્યું, “એ તારાથી દૂર થાઓ; તું માર્યો નહિ જાય. મારા પિતા મોટું કે નાનું કશું પણ મને જણાવ્યાં વગર કરતા નથી. આ વાત મારા પિતા મારાથી શા માટે છુપાવે? એવું તો ના હોય.”
हिन्दी1 शमूएल २०:२
उसने उससे कहा, “ऐसी बात नहीं है; तू मारा न जाएगा। सुन, मेरा पिता मुझ को बिना बताए न तो कोई बड़ा काम करता है और न कोई छोटा; फिर वह ऐसी बात को मुझसे क्यों छिपाएगा? ऐसी कोई बात नहीं है।”

In context

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.”
