I Samuel 20 -- lay readers and preacher Rev. Harry Clark (St. John's UCC)

among the verses/speeches and narrative were these

Verse 5: "Tomorrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king at the meaal; but let me go, so that I may hide in the field until the third evening. . ."
Verses 10 - 17: "Who will tell me if your father answers you harshly?"  // "Come let us go out into the field. . .May the LORD be with you, as He has been with my father.  If I am still alive, show me the faithful love of the LORD; but if I die, never cut off your faithful love from my house, even if the LORD were to cut off every one of the enemies of David from the face of the earth."  Thus Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David -- "May the Lord seek out the enemies of David."  Jonathan made David swear again by his love for him; for he loved him as he loved his own life. . .
