1 Samuel 18:3; 1 Samuel 20:14–15; 1 Samuel 20:42

Then Jonathan made a covenant with David, because dhe loved him as his own soul.


14 If I am still alive, show me the steadfast love of the Lord, that I may not die; 15 aand do not cut off1 your steadfast love from my house forever, when the Lord cuts off every one of the enemies of David from the face of the earth.


42 Then Jonathan said to David, sGo in peace, because we have sworn both of us in the name of the Lord, saying, tThe Lord shall be between me and you, uand between my offspring and your offspring, forever. And he rose and departed, and Jonathan went into the city.1
