Jonathan Confirms the Danger and They Part

35

The next morning Y'honatan went out into the country at the time he had arranged with David, taking with him a young boy.

36

He told the boy, "Now run and find the arrows I'm about to shoot."As the boy ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.

37

When the boy reached the place where the arrow was that Y'honatan had shot, Y'honatan shouted at the boy,"Isn't the arrow beyond you?"

38

Y'honatan continued shouting after the boy, "Quick! Hurry! Don't just stand there!" Y'honatan's boy gathered the arrows and returned to his master,

39

but the boy didn't understand anything about the matter - only Y'honatan and David understood.

40

Y'honatan gave his weapons to his boy and said to him, "Go, carry them to the city."

41

As soon as the boy had gone, David got up from a place south of the stone, fell face down on the ground and prostrated himself three times; and they kissed one another and wept each with the other until it became too much for David.

42

Y'honatan said to David, "Go in peace; because we have sworn, both of us, in the name of ADONAI, that ADONAI will be between me and you, and between my descendants and yours, forever."
