1 Samuel 20:16 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 20:16

So Jonathan made [a covenant] with the house of David
Not with David himself only, which was now renewed, but with his family also:

[saying], let the Lord even require [it] at the hand of David's
enemies;
take vengeance on Jonathan, or on any of his posterity, should they break this covenant, by showing themselves enemies to David, and his crown; and, on the other hand, also on David, and his posterity, should they not show kindness to Jonathan and his seed, according to the tenor of this covenant.

1 Samuel 20:16 In-Context

14 Y si yo viviere, harás conmigo misericordia del SEÑOR; mas si fuere muerto

15 no quitarás perpetuamente tu misericordia de mi casa. Cuando desarraigare el SEÑOR uno por uno los enemigos de David de la tierra, aun a Jonatán quite de su casa, si te faltare; y requiera el SEÑOR de la mano de los enemigos de David

16 Así hizo Jonatán alianza con la casa de David

17 Y volvió Jonatán a jurar a David, porque le amaba, porque le amaba como a su propia alma
