1 Samuel 20:22-24

New International Reader's Version

²² But suppose I tell the boy, ‘The arrows are far beyond you.’ Then go. That will mean the Lord is sending you away. ²³ And remember what we talked about. Remember that the Lord is a witness between you and me forever.”

²⁴ So David hid in the field. When the time for the New Moon feast came, the king sat down to eat.
