1 And it will be as he finished to speak to Saul, and the soul of Jonathan was bound with the soul of David, and Jonathan will love him as his soul. 2 And Saul will take him in that day and he gave him not to turn back to the house of his father. 3 And Jonathan and David will cut out a covenant in his loving him as his soul. 4 And Jonathan will strip off the upper garment which is upon him and will give it to David, and his garments, and even to his sword, and even to his bow, and even to his girdle. 5 And David will go forth in all which Saul will send him, and he will be prudent: and Saul will set him over the men of war, and he will be good in the eyes of all the people, and also in the eyes of the servants of Saul. 6 And it will be in their coming, in David's turning back from the striking of the rover, and the women will come forth from all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing to meet Saul the king, with drums and with gladness and with triangles: 7 And the women will answer, playing, and they will say, Saul smote with his thousand and David with his ten thousands. 8 And it will kindle to Saul greatly, and this word will be evil in his eyes; and he will say, They gave to David ten thousands and to me they gave thousands, and yet to him but the kingdom. 9 And Saul will be wrong with David from that day and forward. 1 Samuel 18:1-9, Smith's Literal Translation.
