33
But Sha'ul threw his spear at him, aiming to kill; Y'honatan could no longer doubt that his father was determined to put David to death.
34
Y'honatan got up from the table in a fury, and he ate no food the second day of the month, both because he was upset over David and because his father had put him to shame.
35
The next morning Y'honatan went out into the country at the time he had arranged with David, taking with him a young boy.
36
He told the boy, "Now run and find the arrows I'm about to shoot."As the boy ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.
37
When the boy reached the place where the arrow was that Y'honatan had shot, Y'honatan shouted at the boy,"Isn't the arrow beyond you?"
38
Y'honatan continued shouting after the boy, "Quick! Hurry! Don't just stand there!" Y'honatan's boy gathered the arrows and returned to his master,
39
but the boy didn't understand anything about the matter - only Y'honatan and David understood.
40
Y'honatan gave his weapons to his boy and said to him, "Go, carry them to the city."
41
As soon as the boy had gone, David got up from a place south of the stone, fell face down on the ground and prostrated himself three times; and they kissed one another and wept each with the other until it became too much for David.
42
Y'honatan said to David, "Go in peace; because we have sworn, both of us, in the name of ADONAI, that ADONAI will be between me and you, and between my descendants and yours, forever." 1(42b) So David got up and left, and Y'honatan went back to the city.
