1 Saul and David finished their conversation. After that, Saul's son Jonathan was deeply attracted to David and came to love him as much as he loved himself.
2 Saul kept David with him from that day on and did not let him go back home.
3 Jonathan swore eternal friendship with David because of his deep affection for him.
4 He took off the robe he was wearing and gave it to David, together with his armour and also his sword, bow, and belt.
5 David was successful in all the missions on which Saul sent him, and so Saul made him an officer in his army. This pleased all of Saul's officers and men.
