TSNTyndale Study Notes:

23:17 You are going to be the king. . . I will be next to you (literally second to you): Jonathan recognized God’s selection of David and renounced any personal ambition to the throne. Jonathan never occupied an official position in David’s court but was killed in battle along with his father (31:2).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

(Occurrence 0) For the hand of Saul my father will not find you

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said to=him/it not afraid that/for/because/then/when not find,you hand Shāʼūl father,my and=you(ms) be_king on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in Yisrael and,I be to,you as,second and=also Shāʼūl father,my knowing yes/correct/thus/so )

Here “hand” is a metonym for Saul and his power. Alternate translation: “For Saul my father will not find you” or “For Saul my father will never be able to have power over you”
