1 Samuel 20:41-42

New Living Translation

⁴¹ As soon as the boy was gone, David came out from where he had been hiding near the stone pile.^[a] Then David bowed three times to Jonathan with his face to the ground. Both of them were in tears as they embraced each other and said good-bye, especially David.

⁴² At last Jonathan said to David, “Go in peace, for we have sworn loyalty to each other in the Lord’s name. The Lord is the witness of a bond between us and our children forever.” Then David left, and Jonathan returned to the town.^[b]
