Theological / Devotional

Made a covenant. It is difficult to translate the Hebrew of this verse. The rendering of the LXX is, “And if thou doest not, when the Lord cuts off the enemies of David each from the face of the earth, should it happen that the name of Jonathan be discovered by the house of David, then let the Lord seek out the enemies of David.”
