1 Samuel 20:20-22

New English Translation

²⁰ I will shoot three arrows near it, as though I were shooting at a target. ²¹ When I send a boy after them, I will say, ‘Go and find the arrows.’ If I say to the boy, ‘Look, the arrows are on this side of you;^[a] get them,’ then come back. For as surely as the Lord lives, you will be safe and there will be no problem. ²² But if I say to the boy, ‘Look, the arrows are on the other side of you,’^[b] then get away. For in that case the Lord has sent you away.
