1Sam.20.1
And David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, What have I done? what is mine iniquity? and what is my sin before thy father, that he seeketh my life?
1Sam.20.1
David got out of Naioth in Ramah alive and went to Jonathan. "What do I do now? What wrong have I inflicted on your father that makes him so determined to kill me?"
1Sam.20.1
Then David fled from Naioth at Ramah and went to Jonathan and asked, "What have I done? What is my crime? How have I wronged your father, that he is trying to take my life?"
1Sam.20.1
Then David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and went and said to Jonathan, "What have I done? What is my iniquity, and what is my sin before your father, that he seeks my life?"
1Sam.20.1
David now fled from Naioth in Ramah and found Jonathan. "What have I done?" he exclaimed. "What is my crime? How have I offended your father that he is so determined to kill me?"
1Sam.20.2
And he said unto him, God forbid; thou shalt not die: behold, my father will do nothing either great or small, but that he will shew it me: and why should my father hide this thing from me? it is not so.
1Sam.20.2
"Nothing," said Jonathan. "You've done nothing wrong. And you're not going to die. Really, you're not! My father tells me everything. He does nothing, whether big or little, without confiding in me. So why would he do this behind my back? It can't be."
1Sam.20.2
"Never!" Jonathan replied. "You are not going to die! Look, my father doesn't do anything, great or small, without confiding in me. Why would he hide this from me? It's not so!"
1Sam.20.2
So Jonathan said to him, "By no means! You shall not die! Indeed, my father will do nothing either great or small without first telling me. And why should my father hide this thing from me? It is not so!"
1Sam.20.2
"That's not true!" Jonathan protested. "I'm sure he's not planning any such thing, for he always tells me everything he's going to do, even the little things. I know he wouldn't hide something like this from me. It just isn't so!"
1Sam.20.3
And David sware moreover, and said, Thy father certainly knoweth that I have found grace in thine eyes; and he saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved: but truly as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, there is but a step between me and death.
1Sam.20.3
But David said, "Your father knows that we are the best of friends. So he says to himself, "Jonathan must know nothing of this. If he does, he'll side with David.' But it's true--as sure as GOD lives, and as sure as you're alive before me right now--he's determined to kill me."
1Sam.20.3
But David took an oath and said, "Your father knows very well that I have found favor in your eyes, and he has said to himself, 'Jonathan must not know this or he will be grieved.' Yet as surely as the LORD lives and as you live, there is only a step between me and death."
1Sam.20.3
Then David took an oath again, and said, "Your father certainly knows that I have found favor in your eyes, and he has said, "Do not let Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved.' But truly, as the LORD lives and as your soul lives, there is but a step between me and death."
1Sam.20.3
Then David took an oath before Jonathan and said, "Your father knows perfectly well about our friendship, so he has said to himself, `I won't tell Jonathan--why should I hurt him?' But I swear to you that I am only a step away from death! I swear it by the LORD and by your own soul!"
1Sam.20.4
Then said Jonathan unto David, Whatsoever thy soul desireth, I will even do it for thee.
1Sam.20.4
Jonathan said, "Tell me what you have in mind. I'll do anything for you."
1Sam.20.4
Jonathan said to David, "Whatever you want me to do, I'll do for you."
1Sam.20.4
So Jonathan said to David, "Whatever you yourself desire, I will do it for you."
1Sam.20.4
"Tell me what I can do!" Jonathan exclaimed.
1Sam.20.5
And David said unto Jonathan, Behold, to morrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king at meat: but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field unto the third day at even.
1Sam.20.5
David said, "Tomorrow marks the New Moon. I'm scheduled to eat dinner with the king. Instead, I'll go hide in the field until the evening of the third.
1Sam.20.5
So David said, "Look, tomorrow is the New Moon festival, and I am supposed to dine with the king; but let me go and hide in the field until the evening of the day after tomorrow.
1Sam.20.5
And David said to Jonathan, "Indeed tomorrow is the New Moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king to eat. But let me go, that I may hide in the field until the third day at evening.
1Sam.20.5
David replied, "Tomorrow we celebrate the new moon festival. I've always eaten with your father on this occasion, but tomorrow I'll hide in the field and stay there until the evening of the third day.
1Sam.20.6
If thy father at all miss me, then say, David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Bethlehem his city: for there is a yearly sacrifice there for all the family.
1Sam.20.6
If your father misses me, say, "David asked if he could run down to Bethlehem, his hometown, for an anniversary reunion, and worship with his family.'
1Sam.20.6
If your father misses me at all, tell him, 'David earnestly asked my permission to hurry to Bethlehem, his hometown, because an annual sacrifice is being made there for his whole clan.'
1Sam.20.6
If your father misses me at all, then say, "David earnestly asked permission of me that he might run over to Bethlehem, his city, for there is a yearly sacrifice there for all the family.'
1Sam.20.6
If your father asks where I am, tell him I asked permission to go home to Bethlehem for an annual family sacrifice.
1Sam.20.7
If he say thus, It is well; thy servant shall have peace: but if he be very wroth, then be sure that evil is determined by him.
1Sam.20.7
If he says, "Good!' then I'm safe. But if he gets angry, you'll know for sure that he's made up his mind to kill me.
1Sam.20.7
If he says, 'Very well,' then your servant is safe. But if he loses his temper, you can be sure that he is determined to harm me.
1Sam.20.7
If he says thus: "It is well,' your servant will be safe. But if he is very angry, be sure that evil is determined by him.
1Sam.20.7
If he says, `Fine!' then you will know all is well. But if he is angry and loses his temper, then you will know he was planning to kill me.
1Sam.20.8
Therefore thou shalt deal kindly with thy servant; for thou hast brought thy servant into a covenant of the LORD with thee: notwithstanding, if there be in me iniquity, slay me thyself; for why shouldest thou bring me to thy father?
1Sam.20.8
Oh, stick with me in this. You've entered into a covenant of GOD with me, remember! If I'm in the wrong, go ahead and kill me yourself. Why bother giving me up to your father?"
1Sam.20.8
As for you, show kindness to your servant, for you have brought him into a covenant with you before the LORD. If I am guilty, then kill me yourself! Why hand me over to your father?"
1Sam.20.8
Therefore you shall deal kindly with your servant, for you have brought your servant into a covenant of the LORD with you. Nevertheless, if there is iniquity in me, kill me yourself, for why should you bring me to your father?"
1Sam.20.8
Show me this kindness as my sworn friend--for we made a covenant together before the LORD--or kill me yourself if I have sinned against your father. But please don't betray me to him!"
1Sam.20.9
And Jonathan said, Far be it from thee: for if I knew certainly that evil were determined by my father to come upon thee, then would not I tell it thee?
1Sam.20.9
"Never!" exclaimed Jonathan. "I'd never do that! If I get the slightest hint that my father is fixated on killing you, I'll tell you."
1Sam.20.9
"Never!" Jonathan said. "If I had the least inkling that my father was determined to harm you, wouldn't I tell you?"
1Sam.20.9
But Jonathan said, "Far be it from you! For if I knew certainly that evil was determined by my father to come upon you, then would I not tell you?"
1Sam.20.9
"Never!" Jonathan exclaimed. "You know that if I had the slightest notion my father was planning to kill you, I would tell you at once."
1Sam.20.10
Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me? or what if thy father answer thee roughly?
1Sam.20.10
David asked, "And whom will you get to tell me if your father comes back with a harsh answer?"
1Sam.20.10
David asked, "Who will tell me if your father answers you harshly?"
1Sam.20.10
Then David said to Jonathan, "Who will tell me, or what if your father answers you roughly?"
1Sam.20.10
Then David asked, "How will I know whether or not your father is angry?"
1Sam.20.11
And Jonathan said unto David, Come, and let us go out into the field. And they went out both of them into the field.
1Sam.20.11
"Come outside," said Jonathan. "Let's go to the field." When the two of them were out in the field,
1Sam.20.11
"Come," Jonathan said, "let's go out into the field." So they went there together.
1Sam.20.11
And Jonathan said to David, "Come, let us go out into the field." So both of them went out into the field.
1Sam.20.11
"Come out to the field with me," Jonathan replied. And they went out there together.
1Sam.20.12
And Jonathan said unto David, O LORD God of Israel, when I have sounded my father about to morrow any time, or the third day, and, behold, if there be good toward David, and I then send not unto thee, and shew it thee;
1Sam.20.12
Jonathan said, "As GOD, the God of Israel, is my witness, by this time tomorrow I'll get it out of my father how he feels about you. Then I'll let you know what I learn.
1Sam.20.12
Then Jonathan said to David: "By the LORD, the God of Israel, I will surely sound out my father by this time the day after tomorrow! If he is favorably disposed toward you, will I not send you word and let you know?
1Sam.20.12
Then Jonathan said to David: "The LORD God of Israel is witness! When I have sounded out my father sometime tomorrow, or the third day, and indeed there is good toward David, and I do not send to you and tell you,
1Sam.20.12
Then Jonathan told David, "I promise by the LORD, the God of Israel, that by this time tomorrow, or the next day at the latest, I will talk to my father and let you know at once how he feels about you. If he speaks favorably about you, I will let you know.
1Sam.20.13
The LORD do so and much more to Jonathan: but if it please my father to do thee evil, then I will shew it thee, and send thee away, that thou mayest go in peace: and the LORD be with thee, as he hath been with my father.
1Sam.20.13
May GOD do his worst to me if I let you down! If my father still intends to kill you, I'll tell you and get you out of here in one piece. And GOD be with you as he's been with my father!
1Sam.20.13
But if my father is inclined to harm you, may the LORD deal with me, be it ever so severely, if I do not let you know and send you away safely. May the LORD be with you as he has been with my father.
1Sam.20.13
may the LORD do so and much more to Jonathan. But if it pleases my father to do you evil, then I will report it to you and send you away, that you may go in safety. And the LORD be with you as He has been with my father.
1Sam.20.13
But if he is angry and wants you killed, may the LORD kill me if I don't warn you so you can escape and live. May the LORD be with you as he used to be with my father.
1Sam.20.14
And thou shalt not only while yet I live shew me the kindness of the LORD, that I die not:
1Sam.20.14
If I make it through this alive, continue to be my covenant friend. And if I die,
1Sam.20.14
But show me unfailing kindness like that of the LORD as long as I live, so that I may not be killed,
1Sam.20.14
And you shall not only show me the kindness of the LORD while I still live, that I may not die;
1Sam.20.14
And may you treat me with the faithful love of the LORD as long as I live. But if I die,
1Sam.20.15
But also thou shalt not cut off thy kindness from my house for ever: no, not when the LORD hath cut off the enemies of David every one from the face of the earth.
1Sam.20.15
keep the covenant friendship with my family--forever. And when GOD finally rids the earth of David's enemies, stay loyal to Jonathan!"
1Sam.20.15
and do not ever cut off your kindness from my family-not even when the LORD has cut off every one of David's enemies from the face of the earth."
1Sam.20.15
but you shall not cut off your kindness from my house forever, no, not when the LORD has cut off every one of the enemies of David from the face of the earth."
1Sam.20.15
treat my family with this faithful love, even when the LORD destroys all your enemies."
1Sam.20.16
So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, Let the LORD even require it at the hand of David's enemies.
1Sam.20.16
Jonathan repeated his pledge of love and friendship for David. He loved David more than his own soul!
1Sam.20.16
So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, "May the LORD call David's enemies to account."
1Sam.20.16
So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, "Let the LORD require it at the hand of David's enemies."
1Sam.20.16
So Jonathan made a covenant with David, saying, "May the LORD destroy all your enemies!"
1Sam.20.17
And Jonathan caused David to swear again, because he loved him: for he loved him as he loved his own soul.
1Sam.20.17
Jonathan then laid out his plan: "Tomorrow is the New Moon, and you'll be missed when you don't show up for dinner.
1Sam.20.17
And Jonathan had David reaffirm his oath out of love for him, because he loved him as he loved himself.
1Sam.20.17
Now Jonathan again caused David to vow, because he loved him; for he loved him as he loved his own soul.
1Sam.20.17
And Jonathan made David reaffirm his vow of friendship again, for Jonathan loved David as much as he loved himself.
1Sam.20.18
Then Jonathan said to David, To morrow is the new moon: and thou shalt be missed, because thy seat will be empty.
1Sam.20.18
On the third day, when they've quit expecting you, come to the place where you hid before, and wait beside that big boulder.
1Sam.20.18
Then Jonathan said to David: "Tomorrow is the New Moon festival. You will be missed, because your seat will be empty.
1Sam.20.18
Then Jonathan said to David, "Tomorrow is the New Moon; and you will be missed, because your seat will be empty.
1Sam.20.18
Then Jonathan said, "Tomorrow we celebrate the new moon festival. You will be missed when your place at the table is empty.
1Sam.20.19
And when thou hast stayed three days, then thou shalt go down quickly, and come to the place where thou didst hide thyself when the business was in hand, and shalt remain by the stone Ezel.
1Sam.20.19
I'll shoot three arrows in the direction of the boulder.
1Sam.20.19
The day after tomorrow, toward evening, go to the place where you hid when this trouble began, and wait by the stone Ezel.
1Sam.20.19
And when you have stayed three days, go down quickly and come to the place where you hid on the day of the deed; and remain by the stone Ezel.
1Sam.20.19
The day after tomorrow, toward evening, go to the place where you hid before, and wait there by the stone pile.
1Sam.20.20
And I will shoot three arrows on the side thereof, as though I shot at a mark.
1Sam.20.20
Then I'll send off my servant, "Go find the arrows.' If I yell after the servant, "The arrows are on this side! Retrieve them!' that's the signal that you can return safely--as GOD lives, not a thing to fear!
1Sam.20.20
I will shoot three arrows to the side of it, as though I were shooting at a target.
1Sam.20.20
Then I will shoot three arrows to the side, as though I shot at a target;
1Sam.20.20
I will come out and shoot three arrows to the side of the stone pile as though I were shooting at a target.
1Sam.20.21
And, behold, I will send a lad, saying, Go, find out the arrows. If I expressly say unto the lad, Behold, the arrows are on this side of thee, take them; then come thou: for there is peace to thee, and no hurt; as the LORD liveth.
1Sam.20.21
But if I yell, "The arrows are farther out!' then run for it--GOD wants you out of here!
1Sam.20.21
Then I will send a boy and say, 'Go, find the arrows.' If I say to him, 'Look, the arrows are on this side of you; bring them here,' then come, because, as surely as the LORD lives, you are safe; there is no danger.
1Sam.20.21
and there I will send a lad, saying, "Go, find the arrows.' If I expressly say to the lad, "Look, the arrows are on this side of you; get them and come'--then, as the LORD lives, there is safety for you and no harm.
1Sam.20.21
Then I will send a boy to bring the arrows back. If you hear me tell him, `They're on this side,' then you will know, as surely as the LORD lives, that all is well, and there is no trouble.
1Sam.20.22
But if I say thus unto the young man, Behold, the arrows are beyond thee; go thy way: for the LORD hath sent thee away.
1Sam.20.22
Regarding all the things we've discussed, remember that GOD's in on this with us to the very end!"
1Sam.20.22
But if I say to the boy, 'Look, the arrows are beyond you,' then you must go, because the LORD has sent you away.
1Sam.20.22
But if I say thus to the young man, "Look, the arrows are beyond you'--go your way, for the LORD has sent you away.
1Sam.20.22
But if I tell him, `Go farther--the arrows are still ahead of you,' then it will mean that you must leave immediately, for the LORD is sending you away.
1Sam.20.23
And as touching the matter which thou and I have spoken of, behold, the LORD be between thee and me for ever.
1Sam.20.23
David hid in the field. On the holiday of the New Moon, the king came to the table to eat.
1Sam.20.23
And about the matter you and I discussed-remember, the LORD is witness between you and me forever."
1Sam.20.23
And as for the matter which you and I have spoken of, indeed the LORD be between you and me forever."
1Sam.20.23
And may the LORD make us keep our promises to each other, for he has witnessed them."
1Sam.20.24
So David hid himself in the field: and when the new moon was come, the king sat him down to eat meat.
1Sam.20.24
He sat where he always sat, the place against the wall, with Jonathan across the table and Abner at Saul's side. But David's seat was empty.
1Sam.20.24
So David hid in the field, and when the New Moon festival came, the king sat down to eat.
1Sam.20.24
Then David hid in the field. And when the New Moon had come, the king sat down to eat the feast.
1Sam.20.24
So David hid himself in the field, and when the new moon festival began, the king sat down to eat.
1Sam.20.25
And the king sat upon his seat, as at other times, even upon a seat by the wall: and Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul's side, and David's place was empty.
1Sam.20.25
Saul didn't mention it at the time, thinking, "Something's happened that's made him unclean. That's it--he's probably unclean for the holy meal."
1Sam.20.25
He sat in his customary place by the wall, opposite Jonathan, and Abner sat next to Saul, but David's place was empty.
1Sam.20.25
Now the king sat on his seat, as at other times, on a seat by the wall. And Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul's side, but David's place was empty.
1Sam.20.25
He sat at his usual place against the wall, with Jonathan sitting opposite him and Abner beside him. But David's place was empty.
1Sam.20.26
Nevertheless Saul spake not any thing that day: for he thought, Something hath befallen him, he is not clean; surely he is not clean.
1Sam.20.26
But the day after the New Moon, day two of the holiday, David's seat was still empty. Saul asked Jonathan his son, "So where's that son of Jesse? He hasn't eaten with us either yesterday or today."
1Sam.20.26
Saul said nothing that day, for he thought, "Something must have happened to David to make him ceremonially unclean-surely he is unclean."
1Sam.20.26
Nevertheless Saul did not say anything that day, for he thought, "Something has happened to him; he is unclean, surely he is unclean."
1Sam.20.26
Saul didn't say anything about it that day, for he said to himself, "Something must have made David ceremonially unclean. Yes, that must be why he's not here."
1Sam.20.27
And it came to pass on the morrow, which was the second day of the month, that David's place was empty: and Saul said unto Jonathan his son, Wherefore cometh not the son of Jesse to meat, neither yesterday, nor to day?
1Sam.20.27
Jonathan said, "David asked my special permission to go to Bethlehem.
1Sam.20.27
But the next day, the second day of the month, David's place was empty again. Then Saul said to his son Jonathan, "Why hasn't the son of Jesse come to the meal, either yesterday or today?"
1Sam.20.27
And it happened the next day, the second day of the month, that David's place was empty. And Saul said to Jonathan his son, "Why has the son of Jesse not come to eat, either yesterday or today?"
1Sam.20.27
But when David's place was empty again the next day, Saul asked Jonathan, "Why hasn't the son of Jesse been here for dinner either yesterday or today?"
1Sam.20.28
And Jonathan answered Saul, David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Bethlehem:
1Sam.20.28
He said, "Give me leave to attend a family reunion back home. My brothers have ordered me to be there. If it seems all right to you, let me go and see my brothers.' That's why he's not here at the king's table."
1Sam.20.28
Jonathan answered, "David earnestly asked me for permission to go to Bethlehem.
1Sam.20.28
So Jonathan answered Saul, "David earnestly asked permission of me to go to Bethlehem.
1Sam.20.28
Jonathan replied, "David earnestly asked me if he could go to Bethlehem.
1Sam.20.29
And he said, Let me go, I pray thee; for our family hath a sacrifice in the city; and my brother, he hath commanded me to be there: and now, if I have found favour in thine eyes, let me get away, I pray thee, and see my brethren. Therefore he cometh not unto the king's table.
1Sam.20.29
Saul exploded in anger at Jonathan: "You son of a slut! Don't you think I know that you're in cahoots with the son of Jesse, disgracing both you and your mother?
1Sam.20.29
He said, 'Let me go, because our family is observing a sacrifice in the town and my brother has ordered me to be there. If I have found favor in your eyes, let me get away to see my brothers.' That is why he has not come to the king's table."
1Sam.20.29
And he said, "Please let me go, for our family has a sacrifice in the city, and my brother has commanded me to be there. And now, if I have found favor in your eyes, please let me get away and see my brothers.' Therefore he has not come to the king's table."
1Sam.20.29
He wanted to take part in a family sacrifice. His brother demanded that he be there, so I told him he could go. That's why he isn't here."
1Sam.20.30
Then Saul's anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said unto him, Thou son of the perverse rebellious woman, do not I know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thine own confusion, and unto the confusion of thy mother's nakedness?
1Sam.20.30
For as long as the son of Jesse is walking around free on this earth, your future in this kingdom is at risk. Now go get him. Bring him here. From this moment, he's as good as dead!"
1Sam.20.30
Saul's anger flared up at Jonathan and he said to him, "You son of a perverse and rebellious woman! Don't I know that you have sided with the son of Jesse to your own shame and to the shame of the mother who bore you?
1Sam.20.30
Then Saul's anger was aroused against Jonathan, and he said to him, "You son of a perverse, rebellious woman! Do I not know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your own shame and to the shame of your mother's nakedness?
1Sam.20.30
Saul boiled with rage at Jonathan. "You stupid son of a whore!" he swore at him. "Do you think I don't know that you want David to be king in your place, shaming yourself and your mother?
1Sam.20.31
For as long as the son of Jesse liveth upon the ground, thou shalt not be established, nor thy kingdom. Wherefore now send and fetch him unto me, for he shall surely die.
1Sam.20.31
Jonathan stood up to his father. "Why dead? What's he done?"
1Sam.20.31
As long as the son of Jesse lives on this earth, neither you nor your kingdom will be established. Now send and bring him to me, for he must die!"
1Sam.20.31
For as long as the son of Jesse lives on the earth, you shall not be established, nor your kingdom. Now therefore, send and bring him to me, for he shall surely die."
1Sam.20.31
As long as that son of Jesse is alive, you'll never be king. Now go and get him so I can kill him!"
1Sam.20.32
And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said unto him, Wherefore shall he be slain? what hath he done?
1Sam.20.32
Saul threw his spear at him to kill him. That convinced Jonathan that his father was fixated on killing David.
1Sam.20.32
"Why should he be put to death? What has he done?" Jonathan asked his father.
1Sam.20.32
And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said to him, "Why should he be killed? What has he done?"
1Sam.20.32
"But what has he done?" Jonathan demanded. "Why should he be put to death?"
1Sam.20.33
And Saul cast a javelin at him to smite him: whereby Jonathan knew that it was determined of his father to slay David.
1Sam.20.33
Jonathan stormed from the table, furiously angry, and ate nothing the rest of the day, upset for David and smarting under the humiliation from his father.
1Sam.20.33
But Saul hurled his spear at him to kill him. Then Jonathan knew that his father intended to kill David.
1Sam.20.33
Then Saul cast a spear at him to kill him, by which Jonathan knew that it was determined by his father to kill David.
1Sam.20.33
Then Saul hurled his spear at Jonathan, intending to kill him. So at last Jonathan realized that his father was really determined to kill David.
1Sam.20.34
So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and did eat no meat the second day of the month: for he was grieved for David, because his father had done him shame.
1Sam.20.34
In the morning, Jonathan went to the field for the appointment with David. He had his young servant with him.
1Sam.20.34
Jonathan got up from the table in fierce anger; on that second day of the month he did not eat, because he was grieved at his father's shameful treatment of David.
1Sam.20.34
So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and ate no food the second day of the month, for he was grieved for David, because his father had treated him shamefully.
1Sam.20.34
Jonathan left the table in fierce anger and refused to eat all that day, for he was crushed by his father's shameful behavior toward David.
1Sam.20.35
And it came to pass in the morning, that Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little lad with him.
1Sam.20.35
He told the servant, "Run and get the arrows I'm about to shoot." The boy started running and Jonathan shot an arrow way beyond him.
1Sam.20.35
In the morning Jonathan went out to the field for his meeting with David. He had a small boy with him,
1Sam.20.35
And so it was, in the morning, that Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little lad was with him.
1Sam.20.35
The next morning, as agreed, Jonathan went out into the field and took a young boy with him to gather his arrows.
1Sam.20.36
And he said unto his lad, Run, find out now the arrows which I shoot. And as the lad ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.
1Sam.20.36
As the boy came to the area where the arrow had been shot, Jonathan yelled out, "Isn't the arrow farther out?"
1Sam.20.36
and he said to the boy, "Run and find the arrows I shoot." As the boy ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.
1Sam.20.36
Then he said to his lad, "Now run, find the arrows which I shoot." As the lad ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.
1Sam.20.36
"Start running," he told the boy, "so you can find the arrows as I shoot them." So the boy ran, and Jonathan shot an arrow beyond him.
1Sam.20.37
And when the lad was come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the lad, and said, Is not the arrow beyond thee?
1Sam.20.37
He yelled again, "Hurry! Quickly! Don't just stand there!" Jonathan's servant then picked up the arrow and brought it to his master.
1Sam.20.37
When the boy came to the place where Jonathan's arrow had fallen, Jonathan called out after him, "Isn't the arrow beyond you?"
1Sam.20.37
When the lad had come to the place where the arrow was which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried out after the lad and said, "Is not the arrow beyond you?"
1Sam.20.37
When the boy had almost reached the arrow, Jonathan shouted, "The arrow is still ahead of you.
1Sam.20.38
And Jonathan cried after the lad, Make speed, haste, stay not. And Jonathan's lad gathered up the arrows, and came to his master.
1Sam.20.38
The boy, of course, knew nothing of what was going on. Only Jonathan and David knew.
1Sam.20.38
Then he shouted, "Hurry! Go quickly! Don't stop!" The boy picked up the arrow and returned to his master.
1Sam.20.38
And Jonathan cried out after the lad, "Make haste, hurry, do not delay!" So Jonathan's lad gathered up the arrows and came back to his master.
1Sam.20.38
Hurry, hurry, don't wait." So the boy quickly gathered up the arrows and ran back to his master.
1Sam.20.39
But the lad knew not any thing: only Jonathan and David knew the matter.
1Sam.20.39
Jonathan gave his quiver and bow to the boy and sent him back to town.
1Sam.20.39
(The boy knew nothing of all this; only Jonathan and David knew.)
1Sam.20.39
But the lad did not know anything. Only Jonathan and David knew of the matter.
1Sam.20.39
He, of course, didn't understand what Jonathan meant; only Jonathan and David knew.
1Sam.20.40
And Jonathan gave his artillery unto his lad, and said unto him, Go, carry them to the city.
1Sam.20.40
After the servant was gone, David got up from his hiding place beside the boulder, then fell on his face to the ground--three times prostrating himself! And then they kissed one another and wept, friend over friend, David weeping especially hard.
1Sam.20.40
Then Jonathan gave his weapons to the boy and said, "Go, carry them back to town."
1Sam.20.40
Then Jonathan gave his weapons to his lad, and said to him, "Go, carry them to the city."
1Sam.20.40
Then Jonathan gave his bow and arrows to the boy and told him to take them back to the city.
1Sam.20.41
And as soon as the lad was gone, David arose out of a place toward the south, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times: and they kissed one another, and wept one with another, until David exceeded.
1Sam.20.41
Jonathan said, "Go in peace! The two of us have vowed friendship in GOD's name, saying, "GOD will be the bond between me and you, and between my children and your children forever!'"
1Sam.20.41
After the boy had gone, David got up from the south side of the stone and bowed down before Jonathan three times, with his face to the ground. Then they kissed each other and wept together-but David wept the most.
1Sam.20.41
As soon as the lad had gone, David arose from a place toward the south, fell on his face to the ground, and bowed down three times. And they kissed one another; and they wept together, but David more so.
1Sam.20.41
As soon as the boy was gone, David came out from where he had been hiding near the stone pile. Then David bowed to Jonathan with his face to the ground. Both of them were in tears as they embraced each other and said good-bye, especially David.
1Sam.20.42
And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, forasmuch as we have sworn both of us in the name of the LORD, saying, The LORD be between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed for ever. And he arose and departed: and Jonathan went into the city.
1Sam.20.42
1Sam.20.42
Jonathan said to David, "Go in peace, for we have sworn friendship with each other in the name of the LORD, saying, 'The LORD is witness between you and me, and between your descendants and my descendants forever.'" Then David left, and Jonathan went back to the town.
1Sam.20.42
Then Jonathan said to David, "Go in peace, since we have both sworn in the name of the LORD, saying, "May the LORD be between you and me, and between your descendants and my descendants, forever."' So he arose and departed, and Jonathan went into the city.
1Sam.20.42
At last Jonathan said to David, "Go in peace, for we have made a pact in the LORD's name. We have entrusted each other and each other's children into the LORD's hands forever." Then David left, and Jonathan returned to the city.
