OET (OET-RV) “For sure, your father knows that you’ve taken a liking to me,” said David, “and he would have decided not to tell you so you wouldn’t be upset.” Then David made an oath again, “Indeed, as Yahweh is alive, and as your soul is alive, death is definitely only a step away from me.”

(Some words not found in UHB: and,swore again/more Dāvid and=he/it_said to_know knowing I_will_show=you(ms) that/for/because/then/when found graciousness/kindness/favour/beauty in/on/at/with,eyes,your and=he/it_said not know this(f) Yōnātān/(Jonathan) lest grieved and,truly he/it_lived YHWH and,lives soul,your that/for/because/then/when but,step between,me and=between the,death )
Here the eyes represent seeing, and seeing represents thoughts or judgment. Alternate translation: “I have pleased you” or “you consider me favorably”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
(Occurrence 0) he will be grieved
(Some words not found in UHB: and,swore again/more Dāvid and=he/it_said to_know knowing I_will_show=you(ms) that/for/because/then/when found graciousness/kindness/favour/beauty in/on/at/with,eyes,your and=he/it_said not know this(f) Yōnātān/(Jonathan) lest grieved and,truly he/it_lived YHWH and,lives soul,your that/for/because/then/when but,step between,me and=between the,death )
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “this will grieve him” or “he will be very sad”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
(Occurrence 0) there is but a step between me and death
(Some words not found in UHB: and,swore again/more Dāvid and=he/it_said to_know knowing I_will_show=you(ms) that/for/because/then/when found graciousness/kindness/favour/beauty in/on/at/with,eyes,your and=he/it_said not know this(f) Yōnātān/(Jonathan) lest grieved and,truly he/it_lived YHWH and,lives soul,your that/for/because/then/when but,step between,me and=between the,death )
Here “step between me and death” is an idiom that refers to being very close to death. Alternate translation: “I am very close to death”
20:2-3 Jonathan was naive about his father’s intentions. David’s willingness to swear . . . by the Lord showed how convinced he was about Saul’s intentions.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
