New Testament

1 Samuel 20:19-24 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

19. When you have stayed for three days, you shall go down quickly and come to the place where you hid yourself on that eventful day, and you shall remain by the stone Ezel.

20. I will shoot three arrows to the side, as though I shot at a target.

21. And behold, I will send the lad, saying, 'Go, find the arrows.' If I specifically say to the lad, 'Behold, the arrows are on this side of you, get them,' then come; for there is safety for you and no harm, as the Lord lives.

22. But if I say to the youth, 'Behold, the arrows are beyond you,' go, for the Lord has sent you away.

23. As for the agreement of which you and I have spoken, behold, the Lord is between you and me forever."

24. So David hid in the field; and when the new moon came, the king sat down to eat food.
