1 Samuel 20:18-22

18“Tomorrow is the New Moon Festival,” Jonathan told him, “and you will be missed when your seat is empty.

19The day after tomorrow you will be missed even more. So go to the place where you hid on that other occasion, and stay by the rock.

20I will shoot three arrows from beside it toward a target.

21Then I will send out a boy and say, ‘Go, find the arrows.’ Now, if I tell the boy, ‘Look, the arrows are next to you; get them,’ then come ⌞back with me⌟. You will be safe, and there will be no trouble. I swear it, as the Lord lives.

22But if I tell the boy, ‘The arrows are next to you,’ then go, because the Lord has sent you away.
