Read down to the center, where the pattern turns; then rise back out through its mirror.

  • A 4a And Jonathan spake good of David unto Saul his father, and said unto him, Let not the king sin against his servant, against David; because he hath not sinned against thee,
    • B 4b and because his works have been to thee-ward very good:
      • C 5a For he did put his life in his hand, and slew the Philistine,
      • C' 5b and the LORD wrought a great salvation for all Israel:
    • B' 5c thou sawest it, and didst rejoice:
  • A' 5d wherefore then wilt thou sin against innocent blood, to slay David without a cause?
