Theme

1 Samuel 20 (42 verses in the MT) opens: And David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, What have I done? what mine iniquity? and what my sin before your father, that he seeketh my life? The middle of the chapter continues: But if I say thus to the young man, Behold, the arrows beyond you; go your way: for YHWH has sent you away. It closes: And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, forasmuch as we have sworn both of us in the name of YHWH, saying, YHWH be between me and you, and between my seed and your seed for ever.

Movement I (vv. 1-9) — And David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan,. And David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, What have I done? what mine iniquity? and what my sin before your father, that he seeketh my life? And he said to him, God forbid; you shall not die: behold, my father will do nothing either great or small, but that he will shew it me: and why should my father hide this thing from me?. Movement II (vv. 10-18) — Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me? or what your father answ. Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me? or what your father answer you roughly? And Jonathan said to David, Come, and let us go out into the field. And they went out both of them into the field. And Jonathan said to David, O YHWH God of Israel, when I have sounded my father about to morrow any time, the third , and, behold, good toward David, and I. Movement III (vv. 19-27) — And you have stayed three days, you shall go down quickly, and come to t. And you have stayed three days, you shall go down quickly, and come to the place where you didst hide thyself when the business was , and shall remain by the stone Ezel. And I will shoot three arrows on the side , as though I shot at a mark. And, behold, I will send a lad, , Go, find out the arrows. If I expressly say to the lad, Behold, the arrows on this. Movement IV (vv. 28-36) — And Jonathan answered Saul, David earnestly asked of me to Bethlehem:. And Jonathan answered Saul, David earnestly asked of me to Bethlehem: And he said, Let me go, I pray you; for our family has a sacrifice in the city; and my brother, he has commanded me : and now, if I have found favour in your eyes, let me get away, I pray you, and see my brethren. Therefore he cometh not to the king's table. Then Saul's anger was kindled. Movement V (vv. 37-42) — And when the lad was come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had s. And when the lad was come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the lad, and said, not the arrow beyond you? And Jonathan cried after the lad, Make speed, haste, stay not. And Jonathan's lad gathered up the arrows, and came to his master. But the lad knew not any thing: only Jonathan and David knew the matter. And Jonathan. Where English printed Bibles divide verses differently, this annotation follows MT versification throughout.
