Verse 14 is found in chapter 20 of 1 Samuel. Jonathan confirms his commitment to warn David and establishes signals using arrows to communicate Saul’s response. The covenant includes a request for mercy toward Jonathan’s household when David reaches a position of power. This request is significant because Jonathan implicitly recognizes David’s future without attempting to compete with him. Their friendship thus becomes a covenant relationship anticipating the kindness David will later show Jonathan’s family.

Tue ich's nicht, so tue keine Barmherzigkeit des HERRN an mir, solange ich lebe, auch nicht, so ich sterbe.
Y si yo viviere, harás conmigo misericordia de Jehová; mas si fuere muerto,
Mientras yo viva, muéstrame el amor fiel de Jehová, para que no muera.
Si je dois vivre encore, veuille user envers moi de la bonté de l'Eternel; et si je meurs,
E se pure io sono ancora in vita, non userai tu inverso me la benignità del Signore, sì che io non muoia?
E, se eu então ainda viver, porventura não usarás comigo da beneficência do SENHOR, para que não morra?
你要照耶和華的慈愛恩待我,不但我活著的時候免我死亡,
