“And I will shoot three arrows on the side thereof, as though I shot at a mark.”
King James Version (KJV)
20:19 Was in hand - When this same business which now they were treating about, was in agitation formerly; namely, to discover Saul's mind and purpose towards him, chap.#19:2|,3. Ezel - By that stone which directs travellers in the way; namely, in some cave, or convenient place, which was near it.
20:21 I will send - I will send him out before I shoot, to find out, and take up the arrows which I shall shoot. And I shall shoot them either short of him, or beyond him, as I shall see occasion.
