1 Samuel 20:2

Tetapi Yonatan berkata kepadanya: "Jauhlah yang demikian itu! engkau tidak akan mati dibunuh. Ingatlah, ayahku tidak berbuat sesuatu, baik perkara besar maupun perkara kecil, dengan tidak menyatakannya kepadaku. Mengapa ayahku harus menyembunyikan perkara ini kepadaku? Tidak mungkin!"

Tetapi Yonatan berkata kepadanya: "Jauhlah yang demikian itu! engkau tidak akan mati dibunuh. Ingatlah, ayahku tidak berbuat sesuatu, baik perkara besar maupun perkara kecil, dengan tidak menyatakannya kepadaku. Mengapa ayahku harus menyembunyikan perkara ini kepadaku? Tidak mungkin!"
Alkitab Terjemahan Lama
Maka kata Yonatan kepadanya: Jauhlah dari pada yang demikian, niscaya engkau tiada akan dibunuh. Bahwasanya ayahku tiada berbuat barang sesuatu perkara, baik besar baik kecil, yang tiada dinyatakannya kepadaku dahulu, manakan boleh ayahku melindungkan perkara yang demikian dari padaku? Bukannya begitu.

Contextual Overview

1 And Dauid fled from Naioth whiche is in Rama, and came, and said before Ionathan, What haue I done? wherin am I faultie? what is the sinne that I haue committed before thy father, that he seketh my lyfe? 2 He sayde vnto him: God forbid, thou shalt not dye: Behold, my father wil do nothing either great or smal, but that he will shewe it me: And howe should my father hyde this thing from me? He will not do it. 3 And Dauid sware againe, and sayde: Thy father knoweth that I haue found grace in thyne eyes, & therfore he thinketh, Ionathan shall not knowe it, lest he be sory: And in very deede, euen as the Lorde lyueth, and as thy soule liueth, there is but a steppe betweene me and death. 4 Then sayde Ionathan vnto Dauid: Whatsoeuer thy soule desireth, that I will do vnto thee. 5 And Dauid sayd vnto Ionathan: Beholde, to morowe is the beginning of the moneth, and I should sit with the king at meate: But let me go, that I may hide my selfe in the fieldes vnto the thirde day at euen. 6 If thy father speake of me, then say: Dauid asked leaue of me, that he might go to Bethlehem to his owne citie, for there is holden a yerely feast for all the kinred. 7 And if he say it is well done, then thy seruaunt shal haue peace: But and if he be angry, then be sure that wickednesse is vtterly concluded of him. 8 And then thou shalt shewe mercy vnto thy seruaunt for thou hast ioyned thy seruaunt into a couenant of the Lord with thee: Notwithstandyng, if there be in me iniquitie, slay me thy selfe? for why shouldest thou bring me to thy father?

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he said unto him, God forbid, thou shalt not die,.... He could not believe his father had any such intention; and that if he discovered anything of that kind, it was only when he was in a frenzy, and a melancholy disorder had seized him; and that David had nothing to fear on that head, and that he would secure him from all danger in that respect; the thing was too gross and detestable to be credited:

behold, my father will do nothing, either great or small, but that he will show it me; such an interest had he in him, and in his favour, being his son and heir to his crown, and having done many warlike exploits, which had the more endeared him to him, that he made him privy to all his secret designs, and took his opinion in all matters of moment and importance:

and why should my father hide this thing from me? his design of taking away the life of David, if he had really formed one:

it [is] not [so]; Jonathan concluded, from his ignorance of it, there was nothing in it, and that it was only a surmise of David's; and yet it is strange that Jonathan should know nothing of the messengers being sent to David's house to take him, and of others sent to Naioth after him, and of Saul's going there himself with such a design; and if he did know anything of the matter, he made the best of it to David, partly to allay his fears, and partly that his father might not appear so black and vile as he really was.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

It is not so - Jonathan’s unwillingness to believe evil of his father is one of the many admirable traits in his character.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Samuel 20:2. My father will do nothing — Jonathan thought that his father could have no evil design against David, because of the oath which he had sworn to himself 1 Samuel 19:6; and at any rate, that he would do nothing against David without informing him.
