1 Samuel 20:18-22

18Jonathan said to him, “Tomorrow is the new moon, and you will be missed, for your seat will be empty.

19On the third day you should go down quickly and come to the place where you hid yourself the day this all started. Stay near the stone Ezel.

20I will shoot three arrows near it, as though I were shooting at a target.

21When I send a boy after them, I will say, “Go and find the arrows.” If I say to the boy, ‘Look, the arrows are on this side of you; get them,’ then come back. For as surely as the Lord lives, you will be safe and there will no problem.

22But if I say to the boy, “Look, the arrows are on the other side of you,’ get away. For in that case the Lord has sent you away.
