Then Saul was moved to wrath against Jonathan, and he said to him, You son of an evil and uncontrolled woman, have I not seen how you have given your love to the son of Jesse, to your shame and the shame of your mother?
31
For while the son of Jesse is living on the earth, your position is unsafe and your kingdom is in danger. So make him come here to me, for it is certainly right for him to be put to death.
32
And Jonathan, answering his father Saul, said to him, Why is he to be put to death? What has he done?
33
And Saul, pointing his spear at him, made an attempt to give him a wound: from which it was clear to Jonathan that his father's purpose was to put David to death.
34
So Jonathan got up from the table, burning with wrath, and took no part in the feast the second day of the month, being full of grief for David because his father had put shame on him.
35
Now in the morning, Jonathan went out into the fields at the time he had said to David, and he had a little boy with him.
36
And he said to the boy, Go and get the arrow I let loose from my bow. And while the boy was running, he sent an arrow past him.
37
And when the boy came to the place where the arrow was, Jonathan, crying out after the boy, said, Has it not gone past you?
38
And Jonathan went on crying out after the boy, Be quick, do not keep waiting about, go quickly. And Jonathan's boy got the arrow and came back to his master.
39
But the boy had no idea what was going on; only Jonathan and David had knowledge of it.

And Jonathan gave his bow and arrows to the boy, and said to him, Take these and go back to the town.
