1 Samuel 20:19-21

Contemporary English Version

¹⁹ By the day after tomorrow, everyone will think you've been gone a long time.^[a] Then go to the place where you hid before and stay beside Going-Away Rock.^{[b] 20} I'll shoot three arrows at a target off to the side of the rock, ²¹ and send my servant to find the arrows.

You'll know if it's safe to come out by what I tell him. If it is safe, I swear by the living Lord that I'll say, “The arrows are on this side of you! Pick them up!”
