And they two made a covenant before the LORD: and David abode in the wood, and Jonathan went to his house.
The verse belongs to the account of David's flight, when after Saul's slaughter of the priests David took responsibility for the danger Abiathar faced and promised him safety with his own band. In that flight Jonathan encouraged David before the covenant, assuring him that Saul would not find him and that David would become king over Israel. David and Jonathan then renewed their covenant before the Lord. Afterward David remained in the wood while Jonathan returned to his house.
