New Testament

1 Samuel 20:33-38 English Standard Version (ESV)

33. But Saul hurled his spear at him to strike him. So Jonathan knew that his father was determined to put David to death.

34. And Jonathan rose from the table in fierce anger and ate no food the second day of the month, for he was grieved for David, because his father had disgraced him.

35. In the morning Jonathan went out into the field to the appointment with David, and with him a little boy.

36. And he said to his boy, “Run and find the arrows that I shoot.” As the boy ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.

37. And when the boy came to the place of the arrow that Jonathan had shot, Jonathan called after the boy and said, “Is not the arrow beyond you?”

38. And Jonathan called after the boy, “Hurry! Be quick! Do not stay!” So Jonathan’s boy gathered up the arrows and came to his master.
