For as long as the son of Isai liveth upon earth, thou shalt not be established, nor thy kingdom. Therefore now presently send, and fetch him to me: for he is the son of death.
32
And Jonathan answering Saul, his father, said: Why shall he die? What hath he done?
33
And Saul caught up a spear to strike him. And Jonathan understood that it was determined by his father to kill David.
34
So Jonathan rose from the table in great anger, and did not eat bread on the second day after the new moon. For he was grieved for David, because his father had put him to confusion.
35
And when the morning came, Jonathan went into the field according to the appointment with David, and a little boy with him.
36
And he said to his boy: Go, and fetch me the arrows which I shoot. And when the boy ran, he shot another arrow beyond the boy.
37
The boy therefore came to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot: and Jonathan cried after the boy, and said: Behold the arrow is there further beyond thee.
38
And Jonathan cried again after the boy, saying: Make haste speedily, stand not. And Jonathan’s boy gathered up the arrows, and brought them to his master:
39
And he knew not at all what was doing: for only Jonathan and David knew the matter.
40
Jonathan therefore gave his arms to the boy, and said to him: Go, and carry them into the city.
41
And when the boy was gone, David rose out of his place, which was toward the south, and falling on his face to the ground, adored thrice: and kissing one another, they wept together; but David more.
