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

A 16a And Jonathan Saul's son arose,
- B 16b and went to David into the wood, and strengthened his hand in God.
  - C 17a And he said unto him, Fear not: for the hand of Saul my father shall not find thee;
    - D 17b and thou shalt be king over Israel, and I shall be next unto thee;
  - C' 17c and that also Saul my father knoweth.
- B' 18a And they two made a covenant before the LORD: and David abode in the wood,
A' 18b and Jonathan went to his house.
