1 Samuel 20:20-23 ▼

20 And I will shoot three arrows to the side, sending them out as though at a target.

21 And there I will send a boy: ‘Go, find the arrows.’ If I expressly say to him, ‘Look, the arrows are here on this side and away from you, take them and come,’ then there is safety for you and there will be no matter, as YHWH lives.

22 But if thus I say to the young man: ‘Behold, the arrows are away from you and further beyond,’ then you must go, for YHWH has sent you away.

23 And as for the matter that we have spoken of—I and you—behold, YHWH is between me and between you even to forever.”
