Jonathan Confirms the Danger and They Part

35

In the morning, Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little boy with him.

36

He said to his boy, “Run, find now the arrows which I shoot.” As the boy ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.

37

When the boy had come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the boy, and said, “Isn’t the arrow beyond you?”

38

Jonathan cried after the boy, “Go fast! Hurry! Don’t delay!” Jonathan’s boy gathered up the arrows, and came to his master.

39

But the boy didn’t know anything. Only Jonathan and David knew the matter.

40

Jonathan gave his weapons to his boy, and said to him, “Go, carry them to the city.”

41

As soon as the boy was gone, David arose out of the south, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times. They kissed one another, and wept one with another, and David wept the most.

42

Jonathan said to David, “Go in peace, because we have both sworn in the LORD’s name, saying, ‘The LORD shall be between me and you, and between my seed and your seed, forever.’” He arose and departed; and Jonathan went into the city.
