1 Samuel 18:1
Was knit with the soul of David - The same forcible phrase occurs of Jacob' s love for Benjamin (marginal reference). Jonathan' s truly heroic character is shown in this generous love of David, and admiration of his great deed.
Saul Resents David
1 Now when he had finished speaking to Saul, athe soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David, band Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
2 Saul took him that day, aand would not let him go home to his father’s house anymore.
3 Then Jonathan and David made a acovenant, because he loved him as his own soul.
4 And Jonathan took off the robe that was on him and gave it to David, with his armor, even to his sword and his bow and his belt.
5 So David went out wherever Saul sent him, and1 behaved wisely. And Saul set him over the men of war, and he was accepted in the sight of all the people and also in the sight of Saul’s servants.
