1 Samuel 19:6
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan and swore an oath: “As surely as the LORD lives, David will not be put to death.”
In context
4 Then Jonathan spoke well of David to his father Saul and said to him, “The king should not sin against his servant David; he has not sinned against you. In fact, his actions have been highly beneficial to you.
5 He took his life in his hands when he struck down the Philistine, and the LORD worked a great salvation for all Israel. You saw it and rejoiced, so why would you sin against innocent blood by killing David for no reason?”
6 Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan and swore an oath: “As surely as the LORD lives, David will not be put to death.”
7 So Jonathan summoned David and told him all these things. Then Jonathan brought David to Saul to serve him as he had before.
8 When war broke out again, David went out and fought the Philistines and struck them with such a mighty blow that they fled before him.
