1 SAMUEL 20:13 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“The Lord do so and much more to Jonathan: but if it please my father to do thee evil, then I will shew it thee, and send thee away, that thou mayest go in peace: and the Lord be with thee, as he hath been with my father.”
If tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I find that my father is favorably disposed toward you, shall I not then send word to you and disclose it to you? — Jonathan's scenario—*v'lo ashlach elecha*—envisions the best case: that Saul's anger may have dissipated, that reconciliation remains possible. The verb *ve'galit le'oznek*, and disclose it to you, suggests full revelation, the drawing back of the veil on Saul's true state.
