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 así que él hubo acabado de hablar con Saúl, el alma de Jonatán fue ligada con la de David, y lo amó Jonatán como a su propia alma.
2 Y Saúl le tomó aquel día, y no le dejó volver a casa de su padre.
3 E hicieron alianza Jonatán y David, porque él le amaba como a su propia alma.
4 Y Jonatán se desnudó la ropa que tenía sobre sí, y la dio a David, y otras ropas suyas, hasta su espada, y su arco, y su talabarte.
5 Y salía David a dondequiera que Saúl le enviaba, y se portaba prudentemente. Y Saúl lo hizo capitán de gente de guerra, y era acepto en los ojos de todo el pueblo, y en los ojos de los criados de Saúl.
