New American Standard Bible (NASB)
1 Samuel 20
37 When the lad reached the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan called after the lad and said, "Is not the arrow beyond you?"
38 And Jonathan called after the lad, "Hurry, be quick, do not stay!" And Jonathan’s lad picked up the arrow and came to his master.
39 But the lad was not aware of anything; only Jonathan and David knew about the matter.
40 Then Jonathan gave his weapons to his lad and said to him, "Go, bring them to the city."
41 When the lad was gone, David rose from the south side and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed three times. And they kissed each other and wept together, but David wept the more.
42 Jonathan said to David, "Go in safety, inasmuch as we have sworn to each other in the name of the Lord, saying, ’The Lord will be between me and you, and between my descendants and your descendants forever.’" Then he rose and departed, while Jonathan went into the city.
1 Samuel 21
1 Then David came to Nob to Ahimelech the priest; and Ahimelech came trembling to meet David and said to him, "Why are you alone and no one with you?"
2 David said to Ahimelech the priest, "The king has commissioned me with a matter and has said to me, ’Let no one know anything about the matter on which I am sending you and with which I have commissioned you; and I have directed the young men to a certain place.’
3 Now therefore, what do you have on hand? Give me five loaves of bread, or whatever can be found."
4 The priest answered David and said, "There is no ordinary bread on hand, but there is consecrated bread; if only the young men have kept themselves from women."
5 David answered the priest and said to him, "Surely women have been kept from us as previously when I set out and the vessels of the young men were holy, though it was an ordinary journey; how much more then today will their vessels be holy?"
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
