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

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.

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.
22
But if I say thus to the boy, Behold, the arrows are beyond you; go your way; for the LORD has sent you away.
23
As touching the matter which you and I have spoken of, behold, the LORD is between you and me forever.
