1 Samuel 18:1

1 Samuel 18:1

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.

JONATHAN LOVES DAVID. (I Samuel 18:1-4)

the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David—They were nearly of an age. The prince had taken little interest in David as a minstrel; but his heroism and modest, manly bearing, his piety and high endowments, kindled the flame not of admiration only, but of affection, in the congenial mind of Jonathan.
