1 Samuel 20:19 Context
17And Ionathan caused Dauid to sweare againe, because he loued him: for he loued him as he loued his owne soule. 18Then Ionathan said to Dauid, To morrow is the newe moone: and thou shalt be missed, because thy seat wil be emptie. 19And when thou hast stayed three dayes, then thou shalt goe downe quickly, and come to the place where thou diddest hide thy selfe, when the businesse was in hand, and shalt remaine by the stone Ezel. 20And I will shoot three arrowes on the side thereof, as though I shot at a marke. 21And behold, I will send a ladde, saying, Goe, find out the arrowes. If I expresly say vnto the lad, Behold, the arrowes are on this side of thee, take them: then come thou, for there is peace to thee, and no hurt, as the Lord liueth.
