37 And so, the boy went to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot. And Jonathan cried out, from behind the back of boy, and said: 'Behold, the arrow is there, farther away from you.'
38 And Jonathan cried out again, from behind the back of the boy, saying, 'Go quickly! Do not stand still!' Then Jonathan's boy collected the arrows, and he brought them to his lord.
39 And he did not understand at all what was happening. For only Jonathan and David knew the matter.
40 Then Jonathan gave his weapons to the boy, and he said to him, 'Go, and carry them into the city.'
41 And when the boy had gone away, David rose up from his place, which turned toward the south, and falling prone on the ground, he reverenced three times. And kissing one another, they wept together, but David more so.
