1 When David had finished talking with Saul, Jonathan and David became bound together in close friendship. Jonathan loved David as much as he did his own life.

2 Saul retained David on that day and did not allow him to return to his father's house.

3 Jonathan made a covenant with David, for he loved him as much as he did his own life.
