“Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan; and Saul swore, “As Yahweh lives, he shall not be put to death.”
1 Samuel 19:6 (WEB)
Context Reading
4Jonathan spoke good of David to Saul his father, and said to him, “Don’t let the king sin against his servant, against David; because he has not sinned against you, and because his works have been very good toward you; 5for he put his life in his hand and struck the Philistine, and Yahweh worked a great victory for all Israel. You saw it and rejoiced. Why then will you sin against innocent blood, to kill David without a cause?” 6Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan; and Saul swore, “As Yahweh lives, he shall not be put to death.” 7Jonathan called David, and Jonathan showed him all those things. Then Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence as before. 8There was war again. David went out and fought with the Philistines, and killed them with a great slaughter; and they fled before him.
