And David sware moreover, and said, Thy father knoweth well that I have found favor in thine eyes; and he saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved: but truly as Jehovah liveth, and as thy soul liveth, there is but a step between me and death.

But David took his oath again and said, Your father sees that I am dear to you; so he says to himself, Let Jonathan have no idea of this, for it will be a grief to him; but as the Lord is living, and as your soul is living, there is only a step between me and death.

Και ωμοσεν ο Δαβιδ ετι και ειπεν, Ο πατηρ σου εξευρει βεβαιως οτι εγω ευρηκα χαριν ενωπιον σου· οθεν λεγει, Ας μη εξευρη τουτο ο Ιωναθαν, μηποτε λυπηθη. Αλλα, ζη Κυριος και ζη η ψυχη σου, δεν ειναι παρα εν βημα μεταξυ εμου και του θανατου.

And David sware moreover, and said, Thy father certainly knoweth that I have found grace in thine eyes; and he saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved: but truly as the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, there is but a step between me and death.
