Contextual Overview
9 And Jonathan said, Far be it from you; for if I should at all know that evil were determined by my father to come on you, then would not I tell it you? 10 Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me if perchance your father answers you roughly? 11 And Jonathan said to David, Come, and let us go out into the field. And they went out both of them into the field. 12 And Jonathan said to David, [By] Yahweh, God of Israel: surely I will sound out my father by about this time on the third day, look, if there is good toward David, shall I not then send to you, and disclose it to you? 13 Yahweh do so to Jonathan, and more also, should it please my father to do you evil, if I don't disclose it to you, and send you away, that you may go in peace: and Yahweh be with you, as he has been with my father. 14 And you shall not only while I yet live show me the loving-kindness of Yahweh, that I will not die; 15 but also you shall not cut off your kindness from my house forever; no, not when Yahweh has cut off the enemies of David every one from the face of the earth. 16 So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, [saying], And Yahweh will require it at the hand of the sons of David. 17 And Jonathan caused David to swear again, for the love that he had to him; for he loved him as he loved his own soul. 18 Then Jonathan said to him, Tomorrow is the new moon: and you will be missed, because your seat will be empty.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
But also thou shalt not cut off thy kindness from my house for ever,.... His family should partake of it as well as himself:
no, not when the Lord hath cut off the enemies of David, everyone from the face of the earth; Saul and his sons, and everyone that should oppose his settlement in the kingdom: Jonathan's meaning is, that the covenant between them should not be only between them personally, but include their posterity, as follows.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The general meaning is: Jonathan had a presentiment, doubtless from God, that David would be established upon the throne. By Godâs mercy he had the comfort, which he well deserved, of knowing that his own posterity would receive kindness at Davidâs hand (see the marginal references).
