30
And Saul's anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said to him, Son of the perverse rebellious woman, do not I know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thine own shame and to the shame of thy mother's nakedness?
31
For as long as the son of Jesse lives upon earth, thou shalt not be established, nor thy kingdom. And now send and fetch him to me, for he must die.
32
And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said to him, Why should he be put to death? what has he done?
33
Then Saul cast the spear at him to smite him; and Jonathan knew that it was determined by his father to put David to death.
34
And Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and ate no meat the second day of the new moon; for he was grieved for David, because his father had done him shame.
35
And it came to pass in the morning that Jonathan went out into the field, to the place agreed on with David, and a little lad with him.
36
And he said to his lad, Run, find now the arrows which I shoot. The lad ran, and he shot the arrow beyond him.
37
And when the lad came to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the lad and said, Is not the arrow away beyond thee?
38
And Jonathan cried after the lad, Make speed, haste, stay not! And Jonathan's lad gathered up the arrows, and came to his master.
39
And the lad knew nothing: only Jonathan and David knew the matter.
40
And Jonathan gave his weapons to his lad, and said to him, Go, carry them to the city.
