1 Samuel 20:31-37 Amplified Bible (AMP)

31. For as long as the son of Jesse lives upon the earth, you shall not be established nor shall your kingdom. So now send and bring him to me, for he shall surely die.

32. Jonathan answered Saul his father, Why should he be killed? What has he done?

33. But Saul cast his spear at him to smite him, by which Jonathan knew that his father had determined to kill David.

34. So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and ate no food that second day of the month, for he grieved for David because his father had disgraced him.

35. In the morning Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little lad was with him.

36. And he said to his lad, Run, find the arrows which I shoot. And as the lad ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.

37. When the lad came to the place where Jonathan had shot the arrow, Jonathan called to [him], Is not the arrow beyond you?
