Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

36. he said unto his lad, Run, find out now the arrows which I shoot-The direction given aloud to the attendant was the signal preconcerted with David. It implied danger.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

20:35-42 The separation of two such faithful friends was grievous to both, but David's case was the more deplorable, for David was leaving all his comforts, even those of God's sanctuary. Christians need not sorrow, as men without hope; but being one with Christ, they are one with each other, and will meet in his presence ere long, to part no more; to meet where all tears shall be wiped from their eyes.


1 Samuel 20:20 "I will shoot three arrows to the side, as though I shot at a target.
