30. Then Saul was angry with Jonathan and he said to him, “You son of a perverse rebellious woman, do I not know that you are choosing the son of Jesse to your own shame, and to the shame of your mother’s nakedness?
31. For as long as the son of Jesse lives on the earth, neither you nor your kingdom will be established. Now, send and bring him to me, for he is a dead man.”
32. Jonathan answered Saul his father and said to him, “Why should he be killed? What has he done?”
33. So Saul cast a spear at him to strike him. Therefore Jonathan knew that his father was determined to kill David.
34. And Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger and did not eat food on the second day of the month. For he was grieved for David, because his father had dishonored him.
35. In the morning Jonathan went out to the field at the time appointed with David, and a little boy was with him.
36. And he said to his boy, “Run, find the arrows which I shoot.” He ran, and he shot the arrow over him.
37. When the boy came to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan called after the boy and said, “Is not the arrow beyond you?”
38. Then Jonathan cried after the boy, “Hurry quickly! Do not stay!” And Jonathan’s boy gathered up the arrow and came to his master.
39. But the boy did not know anything. Only Jonathan and David knew the matter.
40. Jonathan gave his weapons to his boy and said to him, “Go, carry them to the city.”
