The signal by the stone

18Jonathan said to him, “Tomorrow is the new moon, and you will be missed, because your seat will be empty.”

19On the third day, go down quickly and come to the place where you hid yourself on the day of the deed, and remain beside the stone Ezel.

20And I will shoot the three arrows to the side of it, as though I were shooting for myself at a target.

21And look, I will send the young man, saying, ‘Go, find the arrows.’ If I plainly say to the young man, ‘Behold, the arrows are on this side of you; take them and come,’ then there is peace for you and no danger, as Yahweh lives.

22But if I say this to the young man, ‘Look, the arrows are beyond you,’ then go, for Yahweh has sent you away.

23And as for the matter that you and I have spoken of, behold, Yahweh is between me and you forever.
