1 SAMUEL 23:17 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And he said unto him, Fear not: for the hand of Saul my father shall not find thee; and thou shalt be king over Israel, and I shall be next unto thee; and that also Saul my father knoweth.”
And he said to him, Do not be afraid; for the hand of Saul my father will not find you — Jonathan's assurance (*al tira ki lo timtzaeyka yad Shaul avi*) reaffirms protection, repeating the covenant promise. His *v'atah tihyeh melekh al Yisrael*, you will be king over Israel, makes explicit the prophecy that has been implicit throughout: David is destined for kingship.
