1 Samuel 20:11-23
11And JonathanH3083 saidH559 to DavidH1732, ComeH3212, and let us go outH3318 into the fieldH7704. And they went outH3318 bothH8147 of them into the fieldH7704. 12And JonathanH3083 saidH559 to DavidH1732, O LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, when I have soundedH2713 my fatherH1 about to morrowH4279 any timeH6256, or the thirdH7992 day, and, behold, if there be goodH2895 toward DavidH1732, and I then sendH7971 not to thee, and showH1540H241 it thee;12 13The LORDH3068 doH6213 soH3541 and much moreH3254 to JonathanH3083: but if it shall pleaseH3190 my fatherH1 to do thee evilH7451, then I will showH1540H241 it to thee, and send thee awayH7971, that thou mayest goH1980 in peaceH7965: and the LORDH3068 be with thee, as he hath been with my fatherH1.3 14And thou shalt not only while yetH518 I liveH2416 showH6213 me the kindnessH2617 of the LORDH3068, that I may not dieH4191: 15But also thou shalt not withdrawH3772 thy kindnessH2617 from my houseH1004 forH5704 everH5769: no, not when the LORDH3068 hath cut offH3772 the enemiesH341 of DavidH1732 every oneH376 from the faceH6440 of the earthH127. 16So JonathanH3083 madeH3772 a covenant with the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, saying, Let the LORDH3068 even requireH1245 it at the handH3027 of David’sH1732 enemiesH341.4 17And JonathanH3083 caused DavidH1732 to swearH7650 againH3254, because he lovedH160 him: for he lovedH157 him as he lovedH160 his own soulH5315.5 18Then JonathanH3083 saidH559 to DavidH1732, To morrowH4279 is the new moonH2320: and thou shalt be missedH6485, because thy seatH4186 will be emptyH6485.6 19And when thou hast stayed three daysH8027, then thou shalt go downH3381 quicklyH3966, and comeH935 to the placeH4725 where thou didst hideH5641 thyself whenH3117 the businessH4639 was in hand, and shalt remainH3427 byH681 the stoneH68 EzelH237.789 20And I will shootH3384 threeH7969 arrowsH2671 on the sideH6654 of it, as though I shotH7971 at a markH4307. 21And, behold, I will sendH7971 a ladH5288, saying, GoH3212, findH4672 the arrowsH2671. If I expresslyH559 sayH559 to the ladH5288, Behold, the arrowsH2671 are on this side of thee, takeH3947 them; then comeH935 thou: for there is peaceH7965 to thee, and no hurtH1697; as the LORDH3068 livethH2416.10 22But if I sayH559 thus to the young manH5958, Behold, the arrowsH2671 are beyondH1973 thee; go thy wayH3212: for the LORDH3068 hath sent thee awayH7971. 23And as to the matterH1697 which thou and I have spokenH1696 of, behold, the LORDH3068 be between thee and me forH5704 everH5769.
