1 David finished talking to Saul. After that, Jonathan became David's closest friend. He loved David as much as [he loved] himself. 2 (From that day on Saul kept David [as his servant] and didn't let him go back to his family.) 3 So Jonathan made a pledge of mutual loyalty with David because he loved him as much as [he loved] himself. 4 Jonathan took off the coat he had on and gave it to David along with his battle tunic, his sword, his bow, and his belt. 1 Samuel 18:1-4, God's Word Translation.
