1 Samuele 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 Samuele 18:3 In-Context

1 ORA, come egli ebbe finito di parlare a Saulle, l’anima di Gionatan fu legata all’anima di esso, sì che Gionatan l’amò come l’anima sua.
2 Ed in quel giorno, Saulle lo prese appresso di sè, e non gli permise più di ritornare a casa di suo padre.
3 E Gionatan fece lega con Davide; perciocchè egli l’amava come l’anima sua.
4 E Gionatan si spogliò l’ammanto ch’egli avea indosso, e lo diede a Davide, co’ suoi vestimenti, fino alla sua spada, ed al suo arco, ed alla sua cintura.
5 E Davide usciva fuori; dovunque Saulle lo mandava, egli prosperava; laonde Saulle lo costituì sopra un certo numero di gente di guerra; ed egli fu grazioso a tutto il popolo, ed anche a’ servitori di Saulle.
