18.1 Et factum est, etc., et dilexit, etc. RAB. in lib. Reg. Jonathas dilexit David: vir videlicet bellicosus juvenem aptum pugnis. Jonathas significat eos qui de Judæis in Christum crediderunt et, percepta gratia Spiritus sancti, pro Christo relictis omnibus ipsum secuti sunt. Unde Petrus: Ecce nos reliquimus omnia, et secuti sumus te Matth. 19.. Sic enim Jonathas dedit David vestimenta sua a tunica usque ad balteum, cum credentes omnia quæ habuerant, in Christi servitium contulerunt.

18:1 David and Jonathan had much in common: both were young and capable, were military heroes, had a robust faith in God, and had a claim to the throne of Israel. It is a testimony to Jonathan’s true character that he recognized and supported God’s choice of David to be the next king of Israel (see 18:3-4; 20:12-17).
• Jonathan loved David: See 20:17; 2 Sam 1:26. Others in this chapter are also said to love David: all Israel and Judah (1 Sam 18:16), Saul’s daughter Michal (18:20), and Saul’s servants (18:22). Some modern interpreters see a homosexual relationship between David and Jonathan, but the text implies nothing other than a deep and loyal friendship.
