Contextual Overview

¹ Saul told his son Jonathan and all his servants to kill David, but Jonathan liked David very much. ² So he warned David, "My father Saul is looking for a chance to kill you. Watch out in the morning. Hide in a secret place. ³ I will go out and stand with my father in the field where you are hiding, and I'll talk to him about you. Then I'll let you know what I find out." ⁴ When Jonathan talked to Saul his father, he said good things about David. Jonathan said, "The king should do no wrong to your servant David since he has done nothing wrong to you. What he has done has helped you greatly. ⁵ David risked his life when he killed Goliath the Philistine, and the Lord won a great victory for all Israel. You saw it and were happy. Why would you do wrong against David? He's innocent. There's no reason to kill him!" ⁶ Saul listened to Jonathan and then made this promise: "As surely as the Lord lives, David won't be put to death." ⁷ So Jonathan called to David and told him everything that had been said. He brought David to Saul, and David was with Saul as before.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Jonathan spake good of David unto Saul his father,.... Observed to him what a good man be was, and what good things he had done, what wisdom and prudence he had shown in the management of all his affairs, what valour and courage in all his expeditions, what faithfulness and integrity to his king and country in every instance:

and said unto him, let not the king sin against his servant, against David; by taking away his life; which would have been a great sin indeed, a sin against the law of God, which forbids murder, and which would have been attended with sad aggravations of cruelty and ingratitude:

because he hath not sinned against thee; had not disobeyed any of his orders, but faithfully served him in everything, and much less ever thought to take away his life, or seize his crown, as he might imagine:

and because his works [have been] to thee-ward very good; by slaying the Philistines, when he and his army were in the utmost terror; by driving away the evil spirit from him, through playing on his harp before him; as well as by commanding his troops, and leading them against the Philistines, and obtaining victory over them.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Samuel 19:4. Jonathan spake good of David — It is evident that Jonathan was satisfied that David was an innocent man; and that his father was most unjustly incensed against him.
