1 Samuel 20:21-22

And I will send a boy, saying, ‘Go, find the arrows.’ If I specifically say to the boy, ‘Look, the arrows are on this side of you, get them,’ then come [back to my father’s table]; for it is safe for you and there is no danger, as the LORD lives. But if I say to the boy, ‘Look, the arrows are beyond you,’ then go, for the LORD has sent you away.
