撒母耳記上 20:3

大衛又起誓說：「你父親準知我在你眼前蒙恩。他心裏說，不如不叫約拿單知道，恐怕他愁煩。我指着永生的耶和華，又敢在你面前起誓，我離死不過一步。」

dà wèi yòu qǐ shì shuō ：「 nǐ fù qīn zhǔn zhī wǒ zài nǐ yǎn qián méng ēn 。 tā xīn lǐ shuō ， bù rú bú jiào yuē ná dān zhī dào ， kǒng pà tā chóu fán 。 wǒ zhǐ zhe yǒng shēng de yē hé huá ， yòu gǎn zài nǐ miàn qián qǐ shì ， wǒ lí sǐ bú guò yí bù 。」

David swore moreover, and said, “Your father knows well that I have found favor in your eyes; and he says, ‘Don’t let Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved;’ but truly as the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, there is but a step between me and death.”
