1 Samuel 20:3

But David again vowed, “Your father knows very well that I have found favor in your eyes, and he has said, ‘Jonathan must not know of this, or he will be grieved.’ As surely as the LORD lives and as you yourself live, there is but a step between me and death.”
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
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 Yahweh lives, and as your soul lives, there is but a step between me and death.”
World English Bible (WEB)
And David{H1732} sware{H7650}{(H8735)} moreover, and said{H559}{(H8799)}, Thy father{H1} certainly{H3045}{(H8800)} knoweth{H3045}{(H8804)} that I have found{H4672}{(H8804)} grace{H2580} in thine eyes{H5869}; and he saith{H559}{(H8799)}, Let not Jonathan{H3083} know{H3045}{(H8799)} this, lest he be grieved{H6087}{(H8735)}: but truly{H199} as the LORD{H3068} liveth{H2416}, and as thy soul{H5315} liveth{H2416}, there is but a step{H6587} between me and death{H4194}.
