20I will shoot three arrows near it, as though I were shooting at a target.
2So Jonathan told David,“My father Saul is trying to kill you. So be careful tomorrow morning. Find a hiding place and stay in seclusion.
3I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are. I will speak about you to my father. When I find out what the problem is, I will let you know.”
3Taking an oath, David again said,“Your father is very much aware of the fact that I have found favor with you, and he has thought,‘Don’t let Jonathan know about this, or he will be upset.’ But as surely as the LORD lives and you live, there is about one step between me and death!”
4Jonathan replied to David,“Tell me what I can do for you.”
5David said to Jonathan,“Tomorrow is the new moon, and I am certainly expected to join the king for a meal. You must send me away so I can hide in the field until the third evening from now.
6If your father happens to miss me, you should say,‘David urgently requested me to let him go to his city Bethlehem, for there is an annual sacrifice there for his entire family.’
9Jonathan said,“Far be it from you to suggest this! If I were at all aware that my father had decided to harm you, wouldn’t I tell you about it?”
10David said to Jonathan,“Who will tell me if your father answers you harshly?”
11Jonathan said to David,“Come on. Let’s go out to the field.”When the two of them had gone out into the field,
12Jonathan said to David,“The LORD God of Israel is my witness. I will feel out my father about this time the day after tomorrow. If he is favorably inclined toward David, will I not then send word to you and let you know?
13But if my father intends to do you harm, may the LORD do all this and more to Jonathan, if I don’t let you know and send word to you so you can go safely on your way. May the LORD be with you, as he was with my father.
27But the next morning, the second day of the new moon, David’s place was still vacant. So Saul said to his son Jonathan,“Why has Jesse’s son not come to the meal yesterday or today?”
28Jonathan replied to Saul,“David urgently requested that he be allowed to go to Bethlehem.
29He said,‘Permit me to go, for we are having a family sacrifice in the city, and my brother urged me to be there. So now, if I have found favor with you, let me go to see my brothers.’ For that reason he has not come to the king’s table.”
35The next morning Jonathan, along with a young servant, went out to the field to meet David.
36He said to his servant,“Run, find the arrows that I am about to shoot.” As the servant ran, Jonathan shot the arrow beyond him.
37When the servant came to the place where Jonathan had shot the arrow, Jonathan called out to the servant,“Isn’t the arrow further beyond you?”
38Jonathan called out to the servant,“Hurry! Go faster! Don’t delay!” Jonathan’s servant retrieved the arrow and came back to his master.
39(Now the servant did not understand any of this. Only Jonathan and David knew what was going on.)
40Then Jonathan gave his equipment to the servant who was with him. He said to him,“Go, take these things back to the city.”
41When the servant had left, David got up from beside the mound, knelt with his face to the ground, and bowed three times. Then they kissed each other and they both wept, especially David.
42Jonathan said to David,“Go in peace, for the two of us have sworn together in the name of the LORD saying,‘The LORD will be between me and you and between my descendants and your descendants forever.’”
24So David hid in the field. When the new moon came, the king sat down to eat his meal.
25The king sat down in his usual place by the wall, with Jonathan opposite him and Abner at his side. But David’s place was vacant.
15David realized that Saul had come out to seek his life; at that time David was in Horesh in the wilderness of Ziph.
16Then Jonathan son of Saul left and went to David at Horesh. He encouraged him through God.
17He said to him,“Don’t be afraid! For the hand of my father Saul cannot find you. You will rule over Israel, and I will be your second in command. Even my father Saul realizes this.”
18When the two of them had made a covenant before the LORD, David stayed on at Horesh, but Jonathan went to his house.
19Then the Ziphites went up to Saul at Gibeah and said,“Isn’t David hiding among us in the strongholds at Horesh on the hill of Hakilah, south of Jeshimon?
20Now at your own discretion, O king, come down. Delivering him into the king’s hand will be our responsibility.”
19Then the king said to Ittai the Gittite,“Why should you come with us? Go back and stay with the new king, for you are a foreigner and an exile from your own country.
20It seems like you arrived just yesterday. Today should I make you wander around by going with us? I go where I must go. But as for you, go back and take your men with you. May genuine loyal love protect you!”
16She told them,“Head to the hill country, so the ones chasing you don’t find you. Hide from them there for three days, long enough for those chasing you to return. Then you can be on your way.”

2When you leave me today, you will find two men near Rachel’s tomb at Zelzah on Benjamin’s border. They will say to you,‘The donkeys you have gone looking for have been found. Your father is no longer concerned about the donkeys but has become anxious about you two! He is asking,“What should I do about my son?”’
13Then David crossed to the other side and stood on the top of the hill some distance away; there was a considerable distance between them.

23Locate precisely all the places where he hides and return to me with dependable information. Then I will go with you. If he is in the land, I will find him among all the thousands of Judah.”

2David replied to Ahimelech the priest,“The king instructed me to do something, but he said to me,‘Don’t let anyone know the reason I am sending you or the instructions I have given you.’ I have told my soldiers to wait at a certain place.
28Look, I will be waiting at the fords of the desert until word from you reaches me.”
