1 Samuel 18:1-4 ▼

1 And it comes to pass, when he finishes to speak to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan has been bound to the soul of David, and Jonathan loves him as his own soul.

2 And Saul takes him on that day, and has not permitted him to return to the house of his father.

3 And Jonathan makes—David also—a covenant, because he loves him as his own soul,

4 and Jonathan strips himself of the upper robe which [is] on him, and gives it to David, and his long robe, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.
