Contextual Overview
9 Jonathan said, "Far be it from you! If I knew that my father has decided to do something bad to you, would I not tell you about it?" 10 Then David said to Jonathan, "Who will tell me if your father is angry when he answers you?" 11 Jonathan said to David, "Come, let us go out into the field." So both of them went out into the field. 12 Jonathan said to David, "May the Lord, the God of Israel, see it. I will speak with my father, about this time tomorrow, or the third day. If he feels good about David, will I not send news to you and let you know it? 13 But if my father wants to hurt you, may the Lord do the same to Jonathan and even more, if I do not let you know and send you away, so you may be safe. May the Lord be with you as He has been with my father. 14 If I am still alive, show me the faithful love of the Lord, that I may not die. 15 Do not stop being faithful to my house forever, not even when the Lord destroys from the earth all who hate David. 16 Do not let the name of Jonathan be lost from the family of David. And may the Lord punish those who hate you." 17 Jonathan made David promise again, by his love for him. For he loved him as he loved his own life. 18 Then Jonathan said to David, "Tomorrow is the new moon. You will be missed because your seat will be empty.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
But if I say thus unto the young man, behold, the arrows [are] beyond thee,.... Being shot to a greater distance than where the young man was:
go thy way, for the Lord hath sent thee away; then he was to depart directly, without staying to have any conversation with Jonathan, which would not be safe for either of them, and so make the best of his way into the country, and escape for his life; for so it was ordered by the providence of God, that he must not stay, but be gone immediately: the signals were these, that if things were favourable, then he would shoot his arrows on one side of the lad, and David might come out and show himself at once; but if not, he would shoot them beyond him, by which he might know that he must flee for his life.
