For as long as the son of Jesse liveth upon the ground, thou shalt not be established, nor thy kingdom. Wherefore now send and fetch him unto me, for he shall surely die.

Verse 31 is found in chapter 20 of 1 Samuel. Saul discovers David’s absence, and his anger toward Jonathan reveals how deeply rivalry has dominated his perception. He even insults his own son and demands that he hand David over. Jonathan defends David by reminding Saul that David has done nothing deserving death. Saul’s reaction shows that fear of a potential rival has destroyed his family and political judgment. Jonathan, by contrast, maintains a moral perspective that recognizes David’s innocence above the king’s pressure.
