Gill's Notes on the Bible
And thou shalt not only, while yet I live, show me the kindness of the Lord,.... Such kindness as is well pleasing in the sight of God, and imitate what he shows to men, and which was covenanted, promised, and agreed to in the presence of the Lord, when David and Jonathan entered into covenant with each other; this Jonathan did not doubt of, and therefore did not make this a request:
that I die not; he had no fear nor dread on his mind, should David come to the throne while he was alive, that he would take away his life; which was usually done by tyrants and usurpers, when there were any that had a fairer title, and better claim to the throne than they.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The general meaning is: Jonathan had a presentiment, doubtless from God, that David would be established upon the throne. By Godâs mercy he had the comfort, which he well deserved, of knowing that his own posterity would receive kindness at Davidâs hand (see the marginal references).
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Samuel 20:14. Show me the kindness of the Lord — When thou comest to the kingdom, if I am alive, thou shalt show kindness to me, and thou shalt continue that kindness to my family after me.
