3 Then Jonathan ^amade a covenant with David, because he loved him as his own soul.

8 Therefore deal kindly with your servant, for you ^ehave brought your servant into a covenant of the Lord with you. But if there is guilt in me, kill me yourself, for why should you bring me to your father?”

16 And Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, “May¹ the Lord take vengeance on David’s enemies.”

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

18 And the two of them ^jmade a covenant before the Lord. David remained at Horesh, and Jonathan went home.
