1Sa 20:40 — And Jonathan gave his artillery unto his lad, and said unto him, Go, carry [them] to the city.

Phrase of Scripture		Correlating Passages

artillery		Heb. instruments. Rather weapons, as the word kelim also denotes; and here means the bow, quiver, and arrows. This is probably the only place in our language in which the word artillery is not applied to cannon or ordinance, but simply to weapons of war.
his lad		Heb. the lad that was his.
