Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.
Jonathan and David entered into a covenant to be united as brothers in binding friendship, because Jonathan loved David as himself. Their love formed a sacred, lasting bond of union, love and loyalty. That union was the Lord's doing.
The bond remained unbroken until Jonathan's death. Jonathan became a means of preserving David's life when Saul sought to kill him. Jonathan's gift of his royal clothing and weapons to David showed his honor and affection for him.
