1 Samuel 20:2
Parallel Strong's
Berean Study Bible

“Far from it!” Jonathan replied. “You will not die. Indeed, my father does nothing, great or small, without telling me. So why would he hide this matter from me? This cannot be true!”

Young's Literal Translation

And he saith to him, ‘Far be it! thou dost not die; lo, my father doth not do anything great or small and doth not uncover mine ear; and wherefore doth my father hide from me this thing? this [thing] is not.’

King James Bible

And he said unto him, God forbid; thou shalt not die: behold, my father will do {08675;06213:08804} nothing either great or small, but that he will shew it me: and why should my father hide this thing from me? it [is] not [so].
