1 Samuel 18:1-4
1David 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.)
3So Jonathan made a pledge of mutual loyalty with David because he loved him as much as ⌞he loved⌟ himself.
4Jonathan took off the coat he had on and gave it to David along with his battle tunic, his sword, his bow, and his belt.
