1 Samuel 20:34-39
New American Standard Bible
35Now it came about in the morning that Jonathan went out to the field at the time agreed upon with David, and a little boy was with him.
36He said to his boy, 'Run, find now the arrows which I am about to shoot.' The boy ran, and he shot an arrow past him.
37When the boy reached the location of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan called after the boy and said, 'Is the arrow not beyond you?'
38Then Jonathan called after the boy, 'Hurry, be quick, do not stay!' And Jonathan’s boy picked up the arrow and came to his master.
39But the boy was not aware of anything; only Jonathan and David knew about the matter.
King James Version
35And it came to pass in the morning, that Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little lad with him.
36And he said unto his lad, Run, find out now the arrows which I shoot. And as the lad ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.
37And when the lad was come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the lad, and said, Is not the arrow beyond thee?
38And Jonathan cried after the lad, Make speed, haste, stay not. And Jonathan's lad gathered up the arrows, and came to his master.
39But the lad knew not any thing: only Jonathan and David knew the matter.

36He said to the servant, "Run and find the arrows I’m shooting." As the servant ran, Jonathan shot an arrow beyond him.
37He came to the location of the arrow that Jonathan had shot, but Jonathan called to him and said, "The arrow is beyond you, isn’t it?"
38Then Jonathan called to him, "Hurry up and don’t stop!" Jonathan’s servant picked up the arrow and returned to his master.
39He did not know anything; only Jonathan and David knew the arrangement.

35The next morning, as agreed, Jonathan went out into the field and took a young boy with him to gather his arrows.
36Start running,' he told the boy, 'so you can find the arrows as I shoot them.' So the boy ran, and Jonathan shot an arrow beyond him.
37When the boy had almost reached the arrow, Jonathan shouted, 'The arrow is still ahead of you.
38Hurry, hurry, don’t wait.' So the boy quickly gathered up the arrows and ran back to his master.
39He, of course, suspected nothing; only Jonathan and David understood the signal.
