New Testament

1 Samuel 20:35-40 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

35. And when the morning had begun to dawn, Jonathan went into the field according to the agreement with David, and a young boy was with him.

36. And he said to his boy, "Go, and bring to me the arrows that I shoot." And when the boy had run, he shot another arrow away from the boy.

37. And so, the boy went to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot. And Jonathan cried out, from behind the back of boy, and said: "Behold, the arrow is there, farther away from you."

38. And Jonathan cried out again, from behind the back of the boy, saying, "Go quickly! Do not stand still!" Then Jonathan's boy collected the arrows, and he brought them to his lord.

39. And he did not understand at all what was happening. For only Jonathan and David knew the matter.

40. Then Jonathan gave his weapons to the boy, and he said to him, "Go, and carry them into the city."
