In the Hebrew context, the verb "go out" (יָצָא, yatsa) often signifies a purposeful departure or movement towards a specific goal. Jonathan's decision to "go out" reflects his proactive role in seeking reconciliation and peace between his father, King Saul, and David. It underscores the importance of taking initiative in resolving conflicts, a principle that resonates with the Christian call to be peacemakers (<a href="/matthew/5-9.htm">Matthew 5:9</a>).<p><b>and stand beside my father</b><br />The act of standing "beside" someone in ancient Near Eastern culture often implied support or advocacy. Jonathan's choice to stand beside Saul signifies his role as an intermediary. The Hebrew word for "stand" (עָמַד, amad) conveys a sense of firmness and readiness. Jonathan's position is one of loyalty to his father, yet he is also committed to truth and justice for David. This dual loyalty highlights the Christian virtue of balancing familial obligations with moral integrity.<p><b>in the field</b><br />Fields in biblical times were not just agricultural spaces but also places of solitude and reflection. The "field" here serves as a neutral ground, away from the palace's political tensions. It symbolizes a place where honest and open communication can occur. In Scripture, fields often represent simplicity and truth, as seen in parables like the Sower (<a href="/matthew/13-3.htm">Matthew 13:3-9</a>). This setting underscores the need for honest dialogue in resolving misunderstandings.<p><b>where you are</b><br />Jonathan's assurance that he will be where David is signifies his commitment to transparency and accountability. The phrase emphasizes presence and attentiveness, qualities essential in any relationship. In a broader spiritual sense, it reflects God's promise to be with His people, as seen in His assurances throughout Scripture (e.g., <a href="/isaiah/41-10.htm">Isaiah 41:10</a>).<p><b>and I will speak to him about you</b><br />The act of speaking "about you" indicates advocacy and intercession. Jonathan's willingness to speak on David's behalf is a powerful example of standing up for righteousness. The Hebrew verb for "speak" (דָּבַר, dabar) often implies a thoughtful and intentional discourse. This reflects the Christian duty to speak truth in love (<a href="/ephesians/4-15.htm">Ephesians 4:15</a>) and to intercede for others.<p><b>When I find out what he thinks</b><br />This phrase highlights the importance of understanding and discernment. Jonathan seeks to "find out" (יָדַע, yada), which in Hebrew implies a deep, intimate knowledge. It suggests a careful and empathetic approach to understanding Saul's intentions. This aligns with the biblical principle of seeking wisdom and understanding in all situations (<a href="/proverbs/4-7.htm">Proverbs 4:7</a>).<p><b>I will tell you</b><br />Jonathan's promise to "tell" David signifies transparency and trust. The Hebrew root (נָגַד, nagad) for "tell" often involves declaring or making known. This commitment to communication is vital in maintaining trust and unity. It reflects the Christian call to be honest and open with one another, fostering a community built on truth and love (<a href="/colossians/3-9.htm">Colossians 3:9-10</a>).<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/1_samuel/19.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(3) <span class= "bld">In the field.</span>--No doubt some garden or quiet place, whither the king was in the habit of resorting with his friends and counsellors.<p><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/1_samuel/19-3.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">I will</span><br /><span class="heb">וַאֲנִ֨י</span> <span class="translit">(wa·’ă·nî)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Pronoun -
