1 SAMUEL 20:24 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“So David hid himself in the field: and when the new moon was come, the king sat him down to eat meat.”
Then you shall go, for the LORD has sent you away — Jonathan's *ve'atah lech ki shlachach YHWH*, then you shall go, for the LORD has sent you away, frames David's exile as divinely ordained. The verb *shlach*, sent, invokes the language of mission, suggesting that David's flight is not mere escape but a calling, a movement directed by the LORD.
