1 Samuel 20:21 Context
19And when thou hast stayed three dayes, then thou shalt goe downe quickly, and come to the place where thou diddest hide thy selfe, when the businesse was in hand, and shalt remaine by the stone Ezel. 20And I will shoot three arrowes on the side thereof, as though I shot at a marke. 21And behold, I will send a ladde, saying, Goe, find out the arrowes. If I expresly say vnto the lad, Behold, the arrowes are on this side of thee, take them: then come thou, for there is peace to thee, and no hurt, as the Lord liueth. 22But if I say thus vnto the yong man, Behold, the arrowes are beyond thee: goe thy way, for the Lord hath sent thee away. 23And as touching the matter which thou and I haue spoken of, behold, the Lord be betweene thee and mee for euer.
