32 And Jonathan will answer Saul his father and say to him, Wherefore shall he die? What did he?

33 And Saul will lift up his spear against him to strike him, and Jonathan will know that it was finished from his father to kill David.

34 And Jonathan will rise from the table in the heat of wrath, and he will not eat bread in the day of the month the second, for he was grieved for David because his father reproached him.

35 And it will be in the morning, and Jonathan will go forth to the field to the appointment, David and a small boy with him.

36 And he will say to the boy, Run, find now the arrows which I shoot The boy ran, and he shot the arrows beyond him.

37 And the boy will go even to the place of the arrows which Jonathan shot, and Jonathan will call after the boy and say, Is not the arrow from thee and forward?

38 And Jonathan will call after the boy, Be quick, hasten, thou shalt not stand. And Jonathan's boy will take up the arrows and come to his lord.

39 And the boy knew not anything: but Jonathan and David knew the word.

40 And Jonathan will give his utensils to the boy that is to him, and he will say to him, Go, bring into the city.

41 The boy went, and David rose from the south side, and fell upon his face to the earth, and they will worship three times, and they will kiss each his friend, and they will weep, each with his friend, till David magnified.

42 And Jonathan will say to David, Go for peace, for we sware, we two, in the name of Jehovah, saying, Jehovah will be between me and between thee, and between my seed and between thy seed, even forever. The original Julia E. Smith Bible records the following as a verse reference for 1 Sam 21:1 And he will rise and go: and Jonathan came to the city.
