A covenant of friendship

1And it happened, when he had finished speaking to Saul, that Jonathan’s soul was bound to David’s soul, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.

2Saul took him that day and did not allow him to return to his father's house.

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

4Then Jonathan stripped off the robe that was on him and gave it to David, along with his armor, and even his sword, his bow, and his belt.
