1 Samuel 20:3

3But David vowed again, saying, “Your father knows well that aI have found favor in your eyes, and he thinks, ‘Do not let Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved.’ But truly, bas the Lord lives and cas your soul lives, there is but a step between me and death.”

Psalms 116:3

3 dThe snares of death encompassed me;
the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me;
I suffered distress and anguish.

19 eYour dead shall live; their bodies shall rise.
You who dwell in the dust, awake and sing for joy!
For fyour dew is a dew of light,
and the earth will give birth to the dead.

Jonah 2:2-6

2saying,

g“I called out to the Lord, out of my distress,
and he answered me;
hout of the belly of Sheol I cried,
iand you heard my voice.
3 jFor you cast me into the deep,
into the heart of the seas,
and the flood surrounded me;
kall your waves and your billows
passed over me.
4 lThen I said, ‘I am driven away
from your sight;
myet I shall again look
upon your holy temple.’
5 nThe waters closed in over me oto take my life;
the deep surrounded me;
weeds were wrapped about my head
6at the roots of the mountains.
I went down to the land
whose bars closed upon me forever;
yet you brought up my life from the pit,
O Lord my God.

Matthew 12:40

40For pjust as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, qso will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

2 Corinthians 1:9-10

9Indeed, we felt that we had received the sentence of death. But that was to make us rrely not on ourselves sbut on God twho raises the dead. 10 uHe delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us. vOn him we have set our hope that he will deliver us again.
