Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Samuel 20:2

2 And he said unto him, God forbid, thou shalt not die : behold, my father will do nothing either great or small, but that he will shew it me: and why should my father hide this thing from me? it is not so.

I will secure thee by my Interest with my Father; nor doth he design to destroy thee; for what he doth in his frantick fits is not to be imputed to him; and when he comes to himself, I doubt not to reconcile thee to him. For Ionathan gave credit to his Fathers Oath, chap. 19. 6. and the worthiest minds are least suspicious, and most charitable in their opinions of others.
