1 Samuel 20:35 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 20:35

And it came to pass in the morning:
The next morning, the morning of the third day of the month:

that Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David;
he went to the place in the field, or near it, where David hid himself, and at the time agreed between them; which, Abarbinel says, was the time the nobles agreed on for walking, and motion, and for hunting, and casting of arrows, so that Jonathan could go forth without suspicion:

and a little lad with him;
to carry his bow and arrows, and fetch his arrows when cast.

35 It happened in the morning, that Yonatan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little boy with him.

36 He said to his boy, Run, find now the arrows which I shoot. As the boy ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.

37 When the boy was come to the place of the arrow which Yonatan had shot, Yonatan cried after the boy, and said, Isn't the arrow beyond you?
