Jonathon
signaled David to Run
Now
on the following morning, being the third day, Jonathon went out into the field
as arranged taking his lad with him. And he told the lad, “Run now and find the
arrows which I shall shoot. ”And as the
lad ran, Jonathon shot an arrow beyond him; and when the lad went to the place
where the arrow was shot Jonathon cried out to the lad and said, “Is not the
arrow beyond thee? Make speed, haste and stay not.” In the meantime the boy
found the arrows and brought them to his master. Of course the lad had no idea
what was going on; but both Jonathon and David knew. And Jonathon gave his artillery
to the lad and told him to go and carry them into the city. And as soon as the
lad was gone, David rose from his hiding place and he and Jonathon embraced and
cried together; and Jonathon told David to go in peace because they had sworn
each of them to the other in the name of the Lord, saying, “The Lord shall be
between us and our seed forever.” And
David departed; and Jonathon went into the city.
