- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Qui dixit ei : Absit, non morieris : neque enim faciet pater meus quidquam grande vel parvum, nisi prius indicaverit mihi : hunc ergo celavit me pater meus sermonem tantummodo ? nequaquam erit istud.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ἰωναθάν Μηδαμῶς σοι, οὐ μὴ ἀποθάνῃς· ἰδοὺ οὐ μὴ ποιήσῃ ὁ πατήρ μου ῥῆμα μικρὸν καὶ οὐκ ἀποκαλύψει τὸ ὠτίον μου· καὶ τί ὅτι κρύψει ὁ πατήρ μου τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο; οὐκ ἔστιν τοῦτο.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- וַיֹּ֨אמֶר ל֣וֹ חָלִילָה֮ לֹ֣א תָמוּת֒ הִנֵּ֡ה לו עשה אָבִ֜י דָּבָ֣ר גָּד֗וֹל א֚וֹ דָּבָ֣ר קָטֹ֔ן וְלֹ֥א יִגְלֶ֖ה אֶת אָזְנִ֑י וּמַדּוּעַ֩ יַסְתִּ֨יר אָבִ֥י מִמֶּ֛נִּי אֶת הַדָּבָ֥ר הַזֶּ֖ה אֵ֥ין זֹֽאת
Haydock's commentary
Be. The recent machinations and orders of Saul had been concealed from his son, with whom he used to consult on all important matters. (Calmet)
Perceiving, however, that Jonathan was unwilling to come into his measures, Saul, in his phrenzy, tried to destroy David. (Haydock)
But Jonathan, forming his judgment of others by his own upright heart, relied on the oath of his father, (Calmet) and on the information he had lately communicated to him, when he desired David to be slain. (Menochius)
Abulensis believes that the particulars of a preceding reconciliation have been lost, which Salien supplies, the year of the world 2973.
