And Jonathan cried after the lad, make speed, haste, stay
not
But bring the arrows to him directly, that he might dismiss him; for, observing that no man was passing by, he was desirous of embracing the opportunity for a few minutes to have an interview with David alone before he fled:
and Jonathan's lad gathered up the arrows;
for though the textual reading is singular, the marginal is plural, to show, as Kimchi observes, that he cast three arrows, as he said he would, ( 1 Samuel 20:20 ) ;
and came to his master;
with them.
