Verse 1 is found in chapter 20 of 1 Samuel. David explains to Jonathan that Saul is trying to kill him, while Jonathan initially finds it difficult to accept that his father could be acting with such intent. They establish a plan to discover Saul’s intentions through David’s absence from the New Moon meal. Their friendship is expressed through a covenant based on mutual faithfulness. Jonathan must choose between family loyalty and defending an innocent friend, preparing one of the deepest tests of his character.

David aber floh von Najoth in Rama und kam und redete vor Jonathan: Was habe ich getan? Was habe ich mißgehandelt? Was habe ich gesündigt vor deinem Vater, daß er nach meinem Leben steht?
Y David huyó de Najoth que es en Rama, y vínose delante de Jonathán, y dijo: ¿Qué he hecho yo? ¿cuál es mi maldad, o cuál mi pecado contra tu padre, que él busca mi vida?
David s'enfuit de Najoth, près de Rama. Il alla trouver Jonathan, et dit: Qu'ai-je fait? quel est mon crime, quel est mon péché aux yeux de ton père, pour qu'il en veuille à ma vie?
POI Davide se ne fuggì di Naiot, ch’è in Rama, e venne a Gionatan, e gli disse in faccia: Che ho io fatto? quale è la mia iniquità, e quale è il mio peccato inverso tuo padre, ch’egli cerca di tormi la vita?
ENTÃO fugiu Davi de Naiote, em Ramá; e veio, e disse a Jônatas: Que fiz eu? Qual é o meu crime? E qual é o meu pecado diante de teu pai, que procura tirar-me a vida?
