Context of 1 Samuel 20:35

33Saul raised his spear to strike him. Then Jonathan knew his father was determined to kill David. 34Jonathan got up from the table very angry and ate nothing that second day of the month. He was worried sick about David because Jonathan had been humiliated by his own father. In the morning Jonathan went out to the country to the place he and David had agreed on. Jonathan had a young boy with him. 36“Run,” he told the boy, “please find the arrows I shoot.” The boy ran, and Jonathan shot the arrow over him. 37When the boy reached the place where Jonathan’s arrow ⌞had landed⌟, Jonathan called after him, “The arrows are next to you!”

Commentaries on 1 Samuel 20:35

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 35-42Verses 35-42 The separation of two such faithful friends was grievous to both, but David's case was the more deplorable, for David was leaving all his comforts, even those of God's sanctuary. Christians need not sorrow, as men without hope; but being one with Christ, they are one with each other, and will meet in his presence ere long, to part no more; to meet where all tears shall be wiped from their eyes.Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 3535. Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed--or, "at the place appointed."Read the comment
