Verse 12 is found in chapter 23 of 1 Samuel. David consults the Lord again when he discovers that Saul is approaching and receives information about the attitude of Keilah’s inhabitants. He then meets Jonathan, who strengthens his confidence in God. Jonathan states that David will reign over Israel and that he will be second to him. This declaration is extraordinary because Jonathan is the king’s son and natural heir to the dynasty. His recognition of David shows voluntary acceptance of divine choice over his own dynastic expectations.

David sprach: Werden aber die Bürger zu Kegila mich und meine Männer überantworten in die Hände Sauls? Der HERR sprach: Ja.
Dijo luego David: ¿Me entregarán los vecinos de Keila a mí y a mis hombres en manos de Saúl? Y Jehová respondió: Te entregarán.
David preguntó: «¿Nos entregarán los habitantes de Keila a mí y a mis hombres en manos de Saúl?». Jehová respondió: «Los entregarán».
David dit encore: Les habitants de Keïla me livreront-ils, moi et mes gens, entre les mains de Saül? Et l'Eternel répondit: Ils te livreront.
Davide disse ancora: Quei di Cheila daranno essi me, e la mia gente, nelle mani di Saulle? E il Signore rispose: Sì, essi ti ci daranno.
Disse mais Davi: Entregar-me-ão os cidadãos de Queila, a mim e aos meus homens, nas mãos de Saul? E disse o SENHOR: Entregarão.
