20:21 When I send a boy after them, I will say, “Go and find the arrows.” If I say to the boy, ‘Look, the arrows are on this side of you; 1 get them,’ then come back. For as surely as the Lord lives, you will be safe and there will no problem.
1 Samuel 25:8
25:8 Ask your own servants; they can tell you! May my servants find favor in your sight, for we have come 2 at the time of a holiday. Please provide us – your servants 3 and your son David – with whatever you can spare.” 4
1 tnHeb “from you and here.”
