And Jonathan cried out after the boy and said, Is not the arrow beyond you? — Jonathan's *va'yikra Yehonatan achar ha'na'ar va'yomer ha'lo ha'chitza mem'cha v'halan*, the arrow is beyond you, signals danger, the message to David that Saul's wrath remains unabated. The *v'halan*, beyond you, indicates that flight must continue; exile is the only recourse.
