1 Now it came to pass, when David had finished speaking to Saul, Jonathan’s soul was knit to David’s soul, and Jonathan loved him as himself.
2 Saul took him that day and did not let him return to his father’s house.
3 Then Jonathan cut a covenant with David, because he loved him as himself.
4 Jonathan stripped off the robe that was on him and gave it to David, along with his armor: his sword, bow and belt.
