1 SAMUEL 20:23 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And as touching the matter which thou and I have spoken of, behold, the Lord be between thee and me for ever.”
But if I say to the lad, Behold, the arrows are beyond you — the alternative (*v'im amar la'na'ar hineh ha'chitzim min'cha v'halan*), behold, the arrows are beyond you, signals danger; Saul's wrath remains active, and David must flee further into exile. The spatial language—on this side, beyond—encodes the binary of safety and peril.
