1 Samuel 20:21-23

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

²¹ Then I will send the boy, saying, ‘Go, find the arrows.’ If I say to the boy, ‘Look, the arrows are on this side of you; collect them,’ then you are to come, for, as the Lord lives, it is safe for you and there is no danger. ²² But if I say to the young man, ‘Look, the arrows are beyond you,’ then go, for the Lord has sent you away.^{(A) 23} As for the matter about which you and I have spoken, the Lord be between you and me forever.”^(B)
