  • 1 Sam 20:24-42 : 24 So David hid himself in the field, and when the new moon came, the king sat down to eat. 25 He sat in his customary place by the wall, with Jonathan sitting opposite him, and Abner beside Saul. But David's place was empty. 26 Saul said nothing that day, for he thought, 'Something must have happened to him. He’s not ceremonially clean; surely he’s unclean.' 27 But on the second day of the month, David's place was still empty. So Saul asked Jonathan, 'Why hasn’t the son of Jesse come to the meal either yesterday or today?' 28 Jonathan answered Saul, 'David earnestly asked me for permission to go to Bethlehem.' 29 He said, ‘Please let me go, for our family is holding a sacrifice in the city, and my brother has commanded me to attend. If I have found favor in your eyes, let me go and see my brothers.’ That is why he has not come to the king’s table. 30 Saul’s anger flared up at Jonathan, and he said to him, 'You son of a perverse and rebellious woman! Don’t I know that you have sided with the son of Jesse to your own shame and to the shame of your mother’s nakedness?' 31 As long as the son of Jesse lives on this earth, neither you nor your kingdom will be established. Now send someone to bring him to me, for he must die!' 32 Jonathan responded to his father Saul and asked, 'Why should he be put to death? What has he done?' 33 But Saul hurled his spear at Jonathan to kill him. Then Jonathan knew that his father was determined to kill David. 34 Jonathan got up from the table in fierce anger. He did not eat any food on the second day of the month, because he was grieved at his father’s shameful treatment of David. 35 In the morning, Jonathan went out to the field to meet David at the appointed time, and he took a young boy with him. 36 He said to his boy, 'Run and find the arrows I shoot.' As the boy ran, Jonathan shot an arrow beyond him. 37 When the boy came to the place where Jonathan's arrow had fallen, Jonathan called out after him, 'Isn’t the arrow beyond you?' 38 Then he shouted, 'Hurry! Go quickly! Don’t stop!' The boy picked up the arrows and returned to his master. 39 The boy knew nothing about this; only Jonathan and David knew of the matter. 40 Jonathan handed his weapons to the boy who was with him and said, 'Go, take these back to the city.' 41 When the boy had gone, David got up from the south side and fell facedown on the ground. He bowed three times, and then they kissed each other and wept together—David weeping the most. 42 Jonathan said to David, 'Go in peace, for we have sworn friendship with each other in the name of the LORD, saying,
