Come With Me Into the Field

“Come,” Jonathan said, “let’s go out into the field.” So they [David and Jonathan] went there together.
1 Samuel 20:11 New International Version

This phraseology immediately brought to mind Genesis 4:8 wherein the bitter Cain invites his brother Abel into a field not to save his life, but to kill him. The contrast is really striking.
