1 Samuel 20:34
32 “Why must he be put to death?” Jonathan replied. “What has he done?”
33 Then Saul hurled his spear at Jonathan to kill him; so Jonathan knew that his father was determined to kill David.
Jonathan got up from the table in fierce anger and did not eat any food that second day of the month, for he was grieved by his father’s shameful treatment of David.
35 In the morning Jonathan went out to the field for the appointment with David, and a small boy was with him.
36 He said to the boy, “Run and find the arrows I shoot.” And as the boy ran, Jonathan shot an arrow beyond him.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
