SEV Biblia, Chapter 20:13
el SEÑOR haga así a Jonatán, y esto añada. Mas si a mi padre pareciere bien hacerte mal, también te lo descubriré, y te enviaré, y te irás en paz; y sea el SEÑOR contigo, como fue con mi padre.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 20:13
Verse 13. The Lord be with thee, as he hath been with my father.] From this, and other passages here it is evident that Jonathan knew that the Lord had appointed David to the kingdom.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 13. The Lord do so and much more to Jonathan , etc.] Recompense evil more than can be thought of and expressed, should he neglect to inform David of the good disposition of Saul unto him: but if it please my father [to do] thee evil ; if he seems determined upon it to take away thy life: then I will show it thee ; not by a messenger, by whom it would not be safe to communicate it, lest by that means Saul would know where he was, and come and slay him; but Jonathan would come himself, and acquaint him with it: and send thee away, that thou mayest go in peace ; give him leave, and advise him to depart, and provide for his own safety, adding his blessing on him, and prayer for him: and the Lord be with thee, as he hath been with my father ; in the beginning of his reign, giving him counsel and advice in all things, and victory over his enemies, succeeding and prospering him in whatsoever he engaged in; the Targum is, “the Word of the Lord be for thy help, etc.” Jonathan seemed to be fully apprized that David was to succeed in the kingdom.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 11-23 - Jonathan faithfully promises that he would let David know how he foun his father affected towards him. It will be kindness to ourselves an to ours, to secure an interest in those whom God favours, and to make his friends ours. True friendship rests on a firm basis, and is able to silence ambition, self-love, and undue regard for others. But who can fully understand the love of Jesus, who gave himself as a sacrifice for rebellious, polluted sinners! how great then ought to be the force an effects of our love to him, to his cause, and his people!
