1 Samuel 20:19-23 Good News Bible Anglicised (GNBDC)

19. The day after tomorrow your absence will be noticed even more; so go to the place where you hid the other time, and hide behind the pile of stones there.

20. I will then shoot three arrows at it, as though it were a target.

21. Then I will tell my servant to go and find them. And if I tell him, ‘Look, the arrows are on this side of you; get them,’ that means that you are safe and can come out. I swear by the living Lord that you will be in no danger.

22. But if I tell him, ‘The arrows are on the other side of you,’ then leave, because the Lord is sending you away.

23. As for the promise we have made to each other, the Lord will make sure that we will keep it for ever.”
