1 Samuel 20:21-23

Expanded Bible

²¹ Then I will send a boy to find the arrows. If I say to him, ‘The arrows are ·near you [^Lon this side]; bring them here,’ you may come out of hiding. You are safe. As the Lord lives, there is no ·danger [trouble; harm]. ²² But if I say to the ·boy [youngster], ‘Look, the arrows are ·beyond you [further on],’ you must go, because the Lord is sending you away. ²³ Remember ·what we talked about [the promise we made]. The Lord is a witness between you and me forever.”
