1 Samuel 20:35-39 New English Translation (NET)

35. The next morning Jonathan, along with a young servant, went out to the field to meet David.

36. He said to his servant, “Run, find the arrows that I am about to shoot.” As the servant ran, Jonathan shot the arrow beyond him.

37. When the servant came to the place where Jonathan had shot the arrow, Jonathan called out to the servant, “Isn’t the arrow further beyond you?”

38. Jonathan called out to the servant, “Hurry! Go faster! Don’t delay!” Jonathan’s servant retrieved the arrow and came back to his master.

39. (Now the servant did not understand any of this. Only Jonathan and David knew what was going on.)
