1 Samuel 20:20-24 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

20. I will shoot three arrows to the side, as though I shot at a target.

21. And behold, I will send the lad, saying, 'Go, find the arrows.' If I specifically say to the lad, 'Behold, the arrows are on this side of you, get them,' then come; for there is safety for you and no harm, as the Lord lives.

22. But if I say to the youth, 'Behold, the arrows are beyond you,' go, for 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 in the field; and when the new moon came, the king sat down to eat food.
