Then Saul’s anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said unto him, Thou son of the perverse rebellious
woman, do I not know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thine own confusion and unto the confusion of thy mother’s shame?
31
For as long as the son of Jesse lives upon the land, thou shalt not be established nor thy kingdom. Therefore, now send and bring him unto me, for he shall surely die.
32
And Jonathan answered Saul his father and said unto him, Why shall he be slain? What has he done?
33
And Saul cast a spear at him to smite him whereby Jonathan knew that it was determined of his father to slay David.
34
So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger and ate no food the second day of the new moon, for he was grieved for David
and because his father had done him shame.
35
And it came to pass in the morning that Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little lad with him.
36
And he said unto his lad, Run and find the arrows which I shoot.
And as the lad ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.
37
And when the lad was come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the lad, and said,
Is not the arrow 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
But the lad did not understand anything; only Jonathan and David understood the matter.
40
And Jonathan gave his weapons unto his lad and said unto him, Go, carry
them to the city.
