Shmuel Alef 20:40 In-Context

38 And Yonatan cried after the na’ar, Make speed, haste, stay not. And na’ar Yonatan gathered up the khitzim (arrows), and came to his adon.

39 But the na’ar had no da’as of anything; only Yonatan and Dovid knew the davar (matter).

40 And Yonatan gave his weapons unto his na’ar, and said unto him, Go, carry them to the Ir.

41 And as soon as the na’ar was gone, Dovid arose out of a place toward the negev (south), and fell on his face to the ground, and prostrated himself three times: and they kissed one another, and wept one with another, until Dovid wept exceedingly.

42 And Yonatan said to Dovid, Go in shalom, forasmuch as we have sworn both of us in the Shem of Hashem, saying, Hashem be between me and thee, and between my zera and thy zera ad olam. [21:1] And he arose and departed: and Yonatan went into the Ir.
