Description

Jonathan stands at the edge of a grain field, drawing his bow and sending an arrow across the open hills. The lone archer, seen from behind, becomes the center of a tense covenant moment between Jonathan and David. In 1 Samuel 20, Jonathan uses arrows as a secret sign to reveal whether David can safely return to Saul’s court or must flee from the king’s wrath. The open countryside, distant tree, and hidden horizon emphasize the danger, loyalty, and separation in the story. This artwork highlights Jonathan’s faithfulness as a friend and prince who chooses truth over political advantage, making it useful for teaching on covenant friendship, discernment, courage, and God’s protection of David before his rise to the throne.

Scriptures	1 Samuel 20:18-23 1 Samuel 20:35-42 1 Samuel 20 18 Then Jonathan said to him, “Tomorrow is the new moon, and you will be missed, because your seat will be empty. 19 On the third day go down quickly to the place where you hid yourself when the matter was in hand, and remain beside the stone heap. 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. 23 And as for the matter of which you and I have spoken, behold, the LORD is between you and me forever.”
