1 Samuel 20:22

22 Mas, se eu gritar para ele: Olhe, as flechas estão mais para lá, vá embora, pois o SENHOR o manda ir.

1 Samuel 20:22 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 20:22

But if I say thus unto the young man, behold, the arrows [are]
beyond thee
Being shot to a greater distance than where the young man was:

go thy way, for the Lord hath sent thee away;
then he was to depart directly, without staying to have any conversation with Jonathan, which would not be safe for either of them, and so make the best of his way into the country, and escape for his life; for so it was ordered by the providence of God, that he must not stay, but be gone immediately: the signals were these, that if things were favourable, then he would shoot his arrows on one side of the lad, and David might come out and show himself at once; but if not, he would shoot them beyond him, by which he might know that he must flee for his life.

1 Samuel 20:22 In-Context

20 Atirarei três flechas para o lado dela, como se estivesse atirando num alvo,

21 e mandarei um menino procurar as flechas. Se eu gritar para ele: As flechas estão mais para cá, traga-as aqui, você poderá vir, pois juro pelo nome do SENHOR que você estará seguro; não haverá perigo algum.

22 Mas, se eu gritar para ele: Olhe, as flechas estão mais para lá, vá embora, pois o SENHOR o manda ir.

23 Quanto ao nosso acordo, o SENHOR é testemunha entre mim e você para sempre”.

24 Então Davi escondeu-se no campo. Quando chegou a festa da lua nova, o rei sentou-se à mesa.
