Then said Jonathan unto David, Whatsoever thy soul desireth, I will even do it for thee.

And Jonathan said to David: Whatsoever thy soul shall say to me, I will do for thee.

Then said Jonathan to David, Whatever thy soul desireth, I will even do it for thee.

Then Jonathan said to David, Whatever your desire is, I will do it for you.

And Jonathan said to David, "Whatever your soul will tell me, I will do for you."

Then said Jonathan unto David,.... Now giving credit to what he had said, and in order to comfort and support him under the apprehensions he had of danger:
whatsoever thy soul desireth, I will even do it for thee; for the preservation of his life, by speaking to his father on his behalf, endeavouring to dissuade him from his evil intentions, or by hiding and concealing him in some obscure place, that he might not execute his evil designs upon him, or by any method he could point out to him.
