1 Samuel 18:1-5
1Now it cameH1961 aboutH1961, when he had finishedH3615 speakingH1696 to SaulH7586, that 12JonathanH3083 committedH7194 himselfH5315 to DavidH1732, and 3JonathanH3083 lovedH157 him as himselfH5315. 2And SaulH7586 tookH3947 him that dayH3117 and 4did not letH5414 him returnH7725 to his father’sH1 houseH1004. 3Then 5JonathanH3083 madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with DavidH1732 because he lovedH157 him as himselfH5315. 46JonathanH3083 strippedH6584 himself of the robeH4598 that was on him and gaveH5414 it to DavidH1732, with his militaryH4055 gearH4055, includingH5704 his swordH2719, his bowH7198, and his beltH2290. 5And DavidH1732 wentH3318 into battle whereverH3605H834 SaulH7586 sentH7971 him, and always 7achievedH7919 successH7919; so SaulH7586 putH7760 him inH5921 chargeH5921 ofH5921 the menH376 of warH4421. And it was pleasingH3190 in the sightH5869 of allH3605 the peopleH5971, and alsoH1571 in the sightH5869 of Saul’sH7586 servantsH5650.
