1 Samuel 20:35-42 Jubilee Bible (JUB)

35. And it came to pass in the morning that Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little lad with him.

36. And he said unto his lad, Run and find the arrows which I shoot. And as the lad ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.

37. And when the lad was come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the lad, and said, Is not the arrow beyond thee?

38. And Jonathan cried after the lad, Make speed, haste, stay not. And Jonathan’s lad gathered up the arrows and came to his master.

39. But the lad did not understand anything; only Jonathan and David understood the matter.

40. And Jonathan gave his weapons unto his lad and said unto him, Go, carry them to the city.

41. And as soon as the lad was gone, David arose out of a place toward the Negev and fell on his face to the ground and bowed himself three times, and they kissed one another and wept one with another, although David exceeded.

42. And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, forasmuch as we have sworn both of us in the name of the Lord, saying, The Lord be between me and thee and between my seed and thy seed for ever. And he arose and departed, and Jonathan entered into the city.
