योनातान ने कहा, “ऐसी बात कभी न होगी! यदि मैं निश्चय जानता कि मेरे पिता ने तुझ से बुराई करनी ठानी है, तो क्या मैं तुझको न बताता?”

In context

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.
