Saul then ordered his servants, “Speak to David in private and tell him, ‘Look, the king is pleased with you, and all his servants love you. Therefore, you should become the king’s son-in-law.’”

If I continue to live, treat me with the Lord’s faithful love, but if I die,

don’t ever withdraw your faithful love from my household—not even when the Lord cuts off every one of David’s enemies from the face of the earth.”

Jonathan once again swore to David in his love for him, because he loved him as he loved himself.
