Także i ty, będęli żyw, i ty mówię uczynisz ze mną miłosierdzie Pańskie, a choćbym i umarł,
Ponadto, jeśli będę żył, to proszę, ty mi okaż łaskę PANA, a jeśli umrę,
Jeśli jeszcze zostanę przy życiu, czy nie chcesz, czy i ty nie chcesz świadczyć mi miłości WIEKUISTEGO, bym nie zginął?
Także i ty, będęli żyw, i ty mówię uczynisz ze mną miłosierdzie Pańskie, a choćbym i umarł,
I jeśli będę żył, okaż mi miłosierdzie PANA, ale choćbym i umarł;
I nie tylko to; bo jeżeli jeszcze będę żył, to okaż mi przychylność w imię Pana, jeżeli zaś zginę,

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 God’s mercy he had the comfort, which he well deserved, of knowing that his own posterity would receive kindness at David’s 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.
