33. But Saul threw his spear at Jonathan to kill him. Then Jonathan knew that his father wanted to kill David.
34. So Jonathan got up from the table. He was burning with anger. On that second day of the month, he refused to eat. He was very sad that his father was treating David so badly.
35. The next morning Jonathan went out to the field to meet David. He took a young boy with him.
36. He said to the boy, "Run and find the arrows I shoot." As the boy ran, Jonathan shot an arrow far beyond him.
37. The boy came to the place where Jonathan's arrow had fallen. Then Jonathan shouted to him, "The arrow went far beyond you, didn't it?"
38. He continued, "Hurry up! Run fast! Don't stop!" The boy picked up the arrow and returned to his master.
39. The boy didn't know what was going on. Only Jonathan and David knew.
40. Jonathan gave his weapons to the boy. He told him, "Go back to town. Take the weapons with you."
41. After the boy had gone, David got up from the south side of the stone. He bowed down in front of Jonathan with his face to the ground. He did it three times. Then they kissed each other and cried. But David cried more than Jonathan did.
