1 Samuel 20:39-42 Modern English Version (MEV)

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.”

41. When the boy had gone, David arose from the south side of the stone, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times. They kissed one another and wept together, but David wept more.

42. Jonathan said to David, “Go in peace, since the two of us swore in the name of the Lord, saying, ‘The Lord will be between me and you, and between my descendants and your descendants forever.’ ” So he arose and departed, but Jonathan went into the city.
