1 Samuel 20:22 Meaning

20And I will shoot three arrows on the side thereof, as though I shot at a mark.

21And, behold, I will send a lad, saying, Go, find out the arrows. If I expressly say unto the lad, Behold, the arrows are on this side of thee, take them; then come thou: for there is peace to thee, and no hurt; as the LORD liveth.

22But if I say thus unto the young man, Behold, the arrows are beyond thee; go thy way: for the LORD hath sent thee away.

23And as touching the matter which thou and I have spoken of, behold, the LORD be between thee and me for ever.

24So David hid himself in the field: and when the new moon was come, the king sat him down to eat meat.
