1 Samuel 20:40-42
40Then Jonathan gave his equipment to the boy and said, “Go, take it back to the city.”
41When the young man had gone, David got up from the south side of the stone,1 fell facedown, and bowed three times. Then he and Jonathan kissed each other and wept together—though David wept more.
42And Jonathan said to David, “Go in peace, for the two of us have sworn in the name of the LORD, saying, ‘May the LORD be a witness between you and me, and between your descendants and mine forever.’” Then David got up and departed, and Jonathan went back into the city.
