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.
42
And Jonathan said to David: Go in peace: and let all stand that we have sworn both of us in the name of the Lord, saying: The Lord be between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed for ever. (20-43) And David arose, and departed: and Jonathan went into the city.
