1 Samuel 18:3 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 18:3

Then Jonathan and David made a covenant
A covenant of friendship; entered into a solemn agreement to keep up and maintain a cordial respect to each other, and to support each other's interest both in life and after death, whoever was the survivor; and in consequence of this David had a friend at court, when Saul fell out with him, and who pleaded his cause, and discovered his father's plots, and was the means of preserving David's life:

because he loved him as his own soul;
so that this covenant was not founded in mere words, but in sincere and cordial affection, and was lasting and inviolable.

1 Samuel 18:3 In-Context

1 Y aconteció que cuando él acabó de hablar con Saúl, el alma de Jonatán quedó ligada al alma de David, y Jonatán lo amó como a sí mismo.
2 Y Saúl lo tomó aquel día y no lo dejó volver a casa de su padre.
3 Entonces Jonatán hizo un pacto con David, porque lo amaba como a sí mismo.
4 Jonatán se quitó el manto que llevaba puesto y se lo dio a David con sus ropas militares, incluyendo su espada, su arco y su cinturón.
5 Y salía David adondequiera que Saúl le enviaba, y prosperaba; y Saúl lo puso sobre hombres de guerra. Y esto fue agradable a los ojos de todo el pueblo y también a los ojos de los siervos de Saúl.
