The Friendship of David and Jonathan

18 ⌊When⌋[fn] he finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan became attached to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. 2 Saul took him on that very day and did not allow him to return to his father’s house. 3 Then Jonathan made a covenant with David, because he loved him as his own soul. 4 Jonathan stripped off the robe ⌊that he was wearing⌋[fn] and gave it to David, along with his fighting attire,[fn] and even his sword, his bow, and his belt.
