1 Samuel 20:39-42 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

39. But the youth knew not a speck. Only Yehonathan and Dawiḏ knew of the matter.

40. Then Yehonathan gave his weapons to the youth and said to him, “Go, take them to the city.”

41. And as soon as the youth had gone, Dawiḏ rose up from the south side, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed down three times. And they kissed one another. And they wept together, but Dawiḏ more so.

42. And Yehonathan said to Dawiḏ, “Go in peace, since we have both sworn in the Name of יהוה, saying, ‘יהוה is between you and me, and between your seed and my seed, forever.’ ” Then he arose and left, and Yehonathan went into the city.
