11
Yonatan said to David, Come, and let us go out into the field. They went out both of them into the field.
12
Yonatan said to David, the LORD, the God of Yisra'el, [be witness]: when I have sounded my father about this time tomorrow, [or] the third day, behold, if there be good toward David, shall I not then send to you, and disclose it to you?
13
The LORD do so to Yonatan, and more also, should it please my father to do you evil, if I don't disclose it to you, and send you away, that you may go in shalom: and the LORD be with you, as he has been with my father.
14
You shall not only while yet I live show me the lovingkindness of the LORD, that I not die;
15
but also you shall not cut off your kindness from my house forever; no, not when the LORD has cut off the enemies of David everyone from the surface of the eretz.
16
So Yonatan made a covenant with the house of David, [saying], the LORD will require it at the hand of David's enemies.
17
Yonatan caused David to swear again, for the love that he had to him; for he loved him as he loved his own soul.
18
Then Yonatan said to him, Tomorrow is the new moon: and you will be missed, because your seat will be empty.
19
When you have stayed three days, you shall go down quickly, and come to the place where you did hide yourself when the business was in hand, and shall remain by the stone Ezel.
20
I will shoot three arrows on the side of it, as though I shot at a mark.
21
Behold, I will send the boy, [saying], Go, find the arrows. If I tell the boy, Behold, the arrows are on this side of you; take them, and come; for there is shalom to you and no hurt, as the LORD lives.
