1 Samuel 20:10
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Then David asked Jonathan, “Who will tell me if your father answers you harshly?”
In context
8 Therefore deal faithfully with your servant, for you have brought me into a covenant with you before the LORD. If there is iniquity in me, then kill me yourself; why should you bring me to your father?”
9 “Never!” Jonathan replied. “If I ever found out that my father had evil intentions against you, would I not tell you?”
10 Then David asked Jonathan, “Who will tell me if your father answers you harshly?”
11 “Come,” he replied, “let us go out to the field.” So the two of them went out into the field,
12 and Jonathan said, “By the LORD, the God of Israel, I will sound out my father by this time tomorrow or the next day. If he is favorable toward you, will I not send for you and tell you?
