And Jonathan gave his artillery unto his lad, and said unto him, Go, carry them to the city.
Gave his artillery - i:e., his missile weapons. The French word 'artillerie' signifies 'archery,' and the term is still used in England, in the designation of the 'artillery company of London,' the association of archers, though they have long disused bows and arrows. Jonathan's boy being despatched out of the way, the friends enjoyed the satisfaction of a final meeting.
