16So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, [saying], Yahweh will require it at the hand of David`s enemies.
17Jonathan caused David to swear again, for the love that he had to him; for he loved him as he loved his own soul.
18Then Jonathan said to him, Tomorrow is the new moon: and you will be missed, because your seat will be empty.
19When you have stayed three days, you shall go down quickly, and come to the place where you did hide yourself when the business was in hand, and shall remain by the stone Ezel.
20I will shoot three arrows on the side of it, as though I shot at a mark.
21Behold, I will send the boy, [saying], Go, find the arrows. If I tell the boy, Behold, the arrows are on this side of you; take them, and come; for there is peace to you and no hurt, as Yahweh lives.
22But if I say thus to the boy, Behold, the arrows are beyond you; go your way; for Yahweh has sent you away.
