20 I will shoot three arrows on the side of it, as though I shot at a mark.
21 Behold, 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.
22 But if I say thus to the boy, Behold, the arrows are beyond you; go your way; for Yahweh has sent you away.
23 As touching the matter which you and I have spoken of, behold, Yahweh is between you and me forever.
24 So David hid himself in the field: and when the new moon was come, the king sat him down to eat food.
25 The king sat on his seat, as at other times, even on the seat by the wall; and Jonathan stood up, and Abner sat by Saul`s side: but David`s place was empty.
26 Nevertheless Saul didn`t say anything that day: for he thought, Something has befallen him, he is not clean; surely he is not clean.
