20. I will shoot three arrows to the side as if I were shooting at a target.
21. Then I will send word to my servant, ‘Go, find the arrows!’ If I clearly say to the boy, ‘Look, the arrows are on this side of you; bring it,’ then come, for it means peace for you. And there is no problem, as Yahweh lives.
22. But if I say this to the young man, ‘Look, the arrows are beyond you,’ go, for Yahweh has sent you away.
23. And as for the matter about which you and I spoke, look, Yahweh is between you and me forever.”
24. So David hid himself in the field. When the new moon came, the king was seated at the feast.
