1 Samuel 18:1-4 ▼

1 When David had finished speaking with Saul, Jonathan was bound to David in close friendship, and loved him as much as he loved himself.

2 Saul kept David with him from that day on and did not let him return to his father’s house.

3 Jonathan made a covenant with David because he loved him as much as himself.

4 Then Jonathan removed the robe he was wearing and gave it to David, along with his military tunic, his sword, his bow, and his belt.
