1 Samuel 20:37-42 Amplified Bible (AMP)

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

38. And Jonathan cried after the lad, Make speed, haste, stay not! The lad gathered up the arrow and came to his master.

39. But the lad knew nothing; only Jonathan and David knew the matter.

40. Jonathan gave his weapons to his lad and told him, Go, carry them to the city.

41. And as soon as the lad was gone, David arose from beside the heap of stones and fell on his face to the ground and bowed himself three times. And they kissed one another and wept with one another until David got control of himself.

42. And Jonathan told David, Go in peace, forasmuch as we have sworn to each other in the name of the Lord, saying, The Lord shall be between me and you, and between my descendants and yours forever. And Jonathan arose and departed into the city.
