1 Samuel 20:38-41 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

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.
