1 Samuel 20:21-23

Evangelical Heritage Version

²¹ I will send the boy out and say, ‘Go and find the arrows!’ If I yell to the boy, ‘Hey! The arrows are closer this way. Come and pick them up,’ then you can come to me, because you are safe and, as the Lord lives, there is no danger. ²² But if I yell to the boy, ‘Hey! The arrows are farther out,’ then go on your way, for the Lord has sent you away. ²³ Concerning this matter that you and I have spoken about, the Lord stands as a witness between you and me^[a] forever.”
