Description

Jonathan stands beside a rocky hillside with bow drawn and an arrow released, while a young servant waits near the quiver. The scene portrays the secret signal arranged between Jonathan and David in 1 Samuel 20, when Saul’s hostility made David’s life unsafe. Jonathan used arrows in the field to communicate whether David should return or flee, protecting his covenant friend without exposing him to the king’s anger. The servant sees only an archery errand, but the hidden meaning belongs to David: the direction of the arrows reveals danger and confirms Jonathan’s faithful loyalty. This artwork emphasizes covenant friendship, discernment, and God’s providential protection during a season of political fear and personal risk.

Scriptures	1 Samuel 20:20-22 1 Samuel 20:35-40 1 Samuel 20 20 And I will shoot three arrows to the side of it, as though I shot at a mark. 21 And behold, I will send the young man, saying, ‘Go, find the arrows.’ If I say to the young man, ‘Look, the arrows are on this side of you, take them,’ then you are to come, for, as the LORD lives, it is safe for you and there is no danger. 22 But if I say to the youth, ‘Look, the arrows are beyond you,’ then go, for the LORD has sent you away. 1 Samuel 20 35 In the morning Jonathan went out into the field to the appointment with David, and with him a little boy. 36 And he said to his boy, “Run and find the arrows that I shoot.” As the boy ran, he shot an arrow beyond him. 37 And when the boy came to the place of the arrow that Jonathan had shot, Jonathan called after the boy and said, “Is not the arrow beyond you?” 38 And Jonathan called after the boy, “Hurry! Be quick! Do not stay!” So Jonathan's boy gathered up the arrows and came to his master. 39 But the boy knew nothing. Only Jonathan and David knew the matter. 40 And Jonathan gave his weapons to his boy and said to him, “Go and carry them to the city.”
