38. Jonathan added, “Quick! Hurry up! Don’t stand there!” Jonathan’s young servant gathered the arrows and came to his master.
39. The boy had no idea what was going on, but Jonathan and David understood.
40. Then Jonathan gave his weapons to the boy. He told the boy, “Take them back into town.”
41. When the boy had left, David came out from the south side ⌊of the rock⌋ and quickly bowed down three times with his face touching the ground. Then they kissed each other and cried together, but David cried the loudest.
42. “Go in peace!” Jonathan told David. “We have both taken an oath in the Lord’s name, saying, ‘The Lord will be ⌊a witness⌋ between me and you and between my descendants and your descendants forever.’” So David left, and Jonathan went into the city.
