In the story of David and Jonathan, which object is described as having three arrows shot into it?

• A. The Stone of Ezel
• B. The Shield of Saul
• C. The Crown of David
• D. The Gate of Ephesus

Answer: (A)

This moment tests your recall of a signaling episode between David and Jonathan. In that scene, Jonathan uses a field marker—the Stone of Ezel—as the anchor for a coded message. He tells his servant he will shoot three arrows toward a target near the stone. The purpose isn’t just to practice archery; the number and direction of the arrows, and whether the signaling arrows land near or beyond the boy, tell David whether to stay hidden or flee Saul’s plotting.

So the Stone of Ezel is the object described as having three arrows shot toward it, because that stone serves as the reference point for this secret communication. The other options don’t fit this particular event in the story.
