020:027 It happened on the next day after the new moon, [which was] the second [day], that David's place was empty: and Saul said to Jonathan his son, Why doesn't the son of Jesse come to meat, neither yesterday, nor today? 020:028 Jonathan answered Saul, David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Bethlehem: 020:029 and he said, Please let me go, for our family has a sacrifice in the city; and my brother, he has commanded me [to be there]: and now, if I have found favor in your eyes, let me get away, I pray you, and see my brothers. Therefore he is not come to the king's table. 020:030 Then Saul's anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said to him, You son of a perverse rebellious woman, don't I know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your own shame, and to the shame of your mother's nakedness? 020:031 For as long as the son of Jesse lives on the earth, you shall not be established, nor your kingdom. Therefore now send and bring him to me, for he shall surely die. 020:032 Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said to him, "Why should he be put to death? What has he done?" 020:033 Saul cast his spear at him to strike him. By this Jonathan knew that his father was determined to put David to death. 020:034 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 done him shame. 020:035 It happened in the morning, that Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little boy with him. 020:036 He said to his boy, Run, find now the arrows which I shoot. As the boy ran, he shot an arrow beyond him. 020:037 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? 020:038 Jonathan cried after the boy, Go fast! Hurry! Don't delay! Jonathan's boy gathered up the arrows, and came to his master. 020:039 But the boy didn't know anything: only Jonathan and David knew the matter. 020:040 Jonathan gave his weapons to his boy, and said to him, Go, carry them to the city. 020:041 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: and they kissed one another, and wept one with another, until David exceeded. 020:042 Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, because we have sworn both of us in the name of Yahweh, saying, Yahweh shall be between me and you, and between my seed and your seed, forever. He arose and departed: and Jonathan went into the city. 021:001 Then came David to Nob to Ahimelech the priest: and Ahimelech came to meet David trembling, and said to him, Why are you alone, and no man with you?
