1 Samuel 20:33-38 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

33. Then Saul hurled his spear at him to kill him. So Jonathan knew that his father had decided to kill David.

34. Jonathan got up from the table enraged, and did not eat on the second day of the new moon because he was upset about David, because his father had disgraced him.

35. And then in the morning Jonathan went out to the field for the appointment with David, and a young boy was with him.

36. He said to his servant, “Run, please find the arrows that I am shooting!” The boy ran, and he shot the arrow to pass over him.

37. When the boy came up to the place of the arrow that Jonathan had shot, Jonathan called out after the boy and said, “Is not the arrow beyond you?”

38. Then Jonathan called out after the boy, “Quick, hurry, do not linger!” And Jonathan’s servant collected the arrows and came to his master.
