1 Samuel 20:40-42

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁴⁰ Then Jonathan gave his weapons to the boy. He told the boy, “Take them back into town.”

⁴¹ When the boy had left, David came out from the south side ⌞of the rock⌟ and quickly bowed down three times with his face touching the ground. Then they kissed each other and cried together, but David cried the loudest.

⁴² “Go in peace!” Jonathan told David. “We have both taken an oath in the Lord’s name, saying, ‘The Lord will be ⌞a witness⌟ between me and you and between my descendants and your descendants forever.’ ” ^[a]

So David left, and Jonathan went into the city.
