Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

20:18-22 Jonathan’s ruse would allow David to get the message even if there could be no face-to-face meeting; the boy’s presence would allay suspicion and provide Jonathan an alibi for going to the field. As it happened, no one but the boy accompanied Jonathan to the field, so when the boy left, David was able to speak with Jonathan face to face (20:40-42).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וְשִׁלַּשְׁתָּ֙
and,third
See how you translated the similar expression in [20:12](../20/12.md). Alternate translation: [And on the day after tomorrow]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo
אֲשֶׁר־נִסְתַּ֥רְתָּ שָּׁ֖ם
which/who hid there
It might seem that this expression contains extra information that would not be natural to express in your language. If so, you can shorten it. Alternate translation: [where you hid yourself]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
בְּי֣וֹם הַֽמַּעֲשֶׂ֑ה
in/on=day the,incident
Jonathan assumes that David will know that by the day of the deed, he means the time when Saul first tried to kill David, since Jonathan told David then, “stay in a secret place and hide yourself” ([19:2](../19/02.md)). You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [at the time when my father first tried to kill you]
Note 4 topic: translate-names
אֵ֖צֶל הָאֶ֥בֶן הָאָֽזֶל
beside the,stone the,Ezel
The name Ezel is the name of a stone. The name Ezel means “departure.” It is possible that the stone got this name because it was the place where David and Jonathan parted from one another, as [20:41-42](../20/41.md) describes. If so, the author would be using the later name while presenting what Jonathan said here, even though the stone did not have that name at this time. (The author does something similar with the name Ebenezer in [4:1](../04/01.md).) If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain this in a footnote.
