What does 1 Samuel 18:4 mean?
And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that [was] upon
him,
&c.] As a token of his hearty love and true friendship, and
that David might appear at court not in the habit of a shepherd,
but in that of a prince:
and gave it to David, and his garments;
his other garments besides his robe, and so clothed him from tip
to toe, and which fitted him; for as there was a similarity in
their souls, and the disposition of them, so in the make and hulk
of their bodies, and in the stature of them:
even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his
girdle;
these he gave him to accoutre himself with, that he might appear
as a soldier, as well as like a prince, and as another Jonathan,
or rather the same; that they might seem as one, as alike in
body, so in garb and habit.
