- દાઉદે ફરી સોગન ખાઈને કહ્યું કે,” તારો પિતા સારી પેઠે જાણે છે કે, હું તારી દ્રષ્ટિમાં કૃપા પામ્યો છું; માટે તે કહે છે કે, ‘યોનાથાન આ વાત ન જાણે, રખેને તેને દુઃખ થાય.’ પણ ખરેખર હું જીવતા ઈશ્વરના તથા તારા જીવના સોગન ખાઉં છું કે, મારી તથા મરણની વચ્ચે ફક્ત એક પગલું જ દૂર રહ્યું છે.”

- फिर दाऊद ने शपथ खाकर कहा, “तेरा पिता निश्चय जानता है कि तेरे अनुग्रह की दृष्टि मुझ पर है; और वह सोचता होगा, कि योनातान इस बात को न जानने पाए, ऐसा न हो कि वह खेदित हो जाए। परन्तु यहोवा के जीवन की शपथ और तेरे जीवन की शपथ, निःसन्देह, मेरे और मृत्यु के बीच डग ही भर का अन्तर 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.”
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.
