1 Samuel 20:19-26
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 20
19
When you have stayed for three days, you shall go down quickly and come to the place where you hid yourself on that eventful day, and you shall remain beside the stone Ezel.
20
And I will shoot three arrows to the side, as though I shot at a target.
21
Then behold, I will send the boy,
telling him,
‘Go, find the arrows.’ If I specifically say to the boy, ‘Behold, the arrows are on this side of you, get them,’ then come, because it is safe for you and there is nothing
to harm you,
as the
Lord
lives.
22
But if I say to the youth, ‘Behold, the arrows are beyond you,’ go, because the
Lord
has sent you away.
23
As for the agreement of which you and I have spoken, behold, the
Lord
is between you and me forever.'
24
So David hid himself in the field; and when the new moon came, the king sat down to eat food.
25
Now the king sat on his seat as usual, the seat by the wall; then Jonathan stood up and Abner sat down by Saul’s side; but David’s place was empty.
26
Nevertheless Saul did not say anything that day, because he thought, 'It
must have been
an accident; he is not clean, undoubtedly
he is
not clean.'
King James Version
Chapter 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.
20
And I will shoot three arrows on the side thereof, as though I shot at a mark.
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.
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.
23
And as touching the matter which thou and I have spoken of, behold, the
Lord
be between thee and me for ever.
24
So David hid himself in the field: and when the new moon was come, the king sat him down to eat meat.
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.
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.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 20
19
The following day hurry down and go to the place where you hid on the day this incident began and stay beside the rock Ezel.
20
I will shoot three arrows beside it as if I’m aiming at a target.
21
Then I will send a servant and say, ‘Go and find the arrows!’ Now, if I expressly say to the servant, ‘Look, the arrows are on this side of you—get them,’ then come, because as the
Lord
lives, it is safe for you and there is no problem.
22
But if I say this to the youth, ‘Look, the arrows are beyond you!’ then go, for the
Lord
is sending you away.
23
As for the matter you and I have spoken about, the
Lord
will be a witness between you and me forever."
24
So David hid in the countryside. At the New Moon, the king sat down to eat the meal.
25
He sat at his usual place on the seat by the wall. Jonathan sat facing him and Abner took his place beside Saul, but David’s place was empty.
26
Saul did not say anything that day because he thought, "Something unexpected has happened; he must be ceremonially unclean—yes, that’s it, he is unclean."
New Living Translation
Chapter 20
19
The day after tomorrow, toward evening, go to the place where you hid before, and wait there by the stone pile.
20
I will come out and shoot three arrows to the side of the stone pile as though I were shooting at a target.
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.
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.
23
And may the
Lord
make us keep our promises to each other, for he has witnessed them.'
24
So David hid himself in the field, and when the new moon festival began, the king sat down to eat.
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.
26
Saul didn’t say anything about it that day, for he said to himself, 'Something must have made David ceremonially unclean.'
English Standard Version
Chapter 20
19
On the third day go down quickly to the place where you hid yourself when the matter was in hand, and remain beside the stone heap.
20
And I will shoot three arrows to the side of it, as though I shot at a mark.
21
And behold, 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, take 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 youth, ‘Look, the arrows are beyond you,’ then go, for the
Lord
has sent you away.
23
And as for the matter of which you and I have spoken, behold, the
Lord
is between you and me forever."
24
So David hid himself in the field. And when the new moon came, the king sat down to eat food.
25
The king sat on his seat, as at other times, on the seat by the wall. Jonathan sat opposite, and Abner sat by Saul 's side, but David 's place was empty.
26
Yet Saul did not say anything that day, for he thought, "Something has happened to him. He is not clean; surely he is not clean."
New International Version
Chapter 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.
20
I will shoot three arrows to the side of it, as though I were shooting at a target.
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.
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.
23
And about the matter you and I discussed—remember, the
Lord
is witness between you and me forever."
24
So David hid in the field, and when the New Moon feast came, the king sat down to eat.
25
He sat in his customary place by the wall, opposite Jonathan, and Abner sat next to Saul, but David’s place was empty.
26
Saul said nothing that day, for he thought, "Something must have happened to David to make him ceremonially unclean—surely he is unclean."
New King James Version
Chapter 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.
20
Then I will shoot three arrows to the side, as though I shot at a target;
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.
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.
23
And as for the matter which you and I have spoken of, indeed the
Lord
be
between you and me forever.”
24
Then David hid in the field. And when the New Moon had come, the king sat down to eat the feast.
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.
26
Nevertheless Saul did not say anything that day, for he thought, “Something has happened to him; he
is
unclean, surely he
is
unclean.”
