1
After David had finished talking with Saul, he met Jonathan, the king's son. There was an immediate bond of love between them, and they became the best of friends.
2
From that day on Saul kept David with him at the palace and wouldn't let him return home.
3
And Jonathan made a special vow to be David's friend,
4
and he sealed the pact by giving him his robe, tunic, sword, bow, and belt.
