In Context

36 He said to his boy, |Run, find now the arrows which I shoot.| As the boy ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.

37 When the boy was come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the boy, and said, |Isn't the arrow beyond you?|

38 Jonathan cried after the boy, |Go fast! Hurry! Don't delay!| Jonathan's boy gathered up the arrows, and came to his master.

39 But the boy didn't know anything. Only Jonathan and David knew the matter.

40 Jonathan gave his weapons to his boy, and said to him, |Go, carry them to the city.|

41 As soon as the boy was gone, David arose out of a place toward the South, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times. They kissed one another, and wept one with another, and David wept the most.
