33 Saul threw his spear at Jonathan and tried to kill him. Then Jonathan was sure that his father really did want to kill David.
34 Jonathan was angry that his father had insulted David so terribly. He got up, left the table, and didn't eat anything all that day.
35 In the morning, Jonathan went out to the field to meet David. He took a servant boy along
36 and told him, “When I shoot the arrows, you run and find them for me.”The boy started running, and Jonathan shot an arrow so that it would go beyond him.
37 When the boy got near the place where the arrow had landed, Jonathan shouted, “Isn't the arrow on past you?”
38 Jonathan shouted to him again, “Hurry up! Don't stop!”The boy picked up the arrows and brought them back to Jonathan,
39 but he had no idea about what was going on. Only Jonathan and David knew.
