Thematic Bible



And it will be as he finished to speak to Saul, and the soul of Jonathan was bound with the soul of David, and Jonathan will love him as his soul. And Saul will take him in that day and he gave him not to turn back to the house of his father. And Jonathan and David will cut out a covenant in his loving him as his soul read more.
And Jonathan will strip off the upper garment which is upon him and will give it to David, and his garments, and even to his sword, and even to his bow, and even to his girdle.

And Jonathan, son of Saul, will rise and go to David to the thicket, and he will strengthen his hand in God. And he will say to him, Thou shalt not fear, for Saul's, my father's hand, shall not find thee; and thou shalt be king over Israel, and I shall be to thee for the second; and also Saul my father knew this And they two will cut out a covenant before Jehovah: and David dwelt in the thicket, and Jonathan went to his house.

And David will set up this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son: (And he will say to teach the sons of Judah the bow: it was written upon the book of Jasher.) The beauty of Israel was wounded upon thy heights: how have the powerful fallen read more.
Ye shall not announce in Gath, ye shall not announce the good news in the streets of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the rovers shall rejoice--lest the daughters of the uncircumcised shall exult Mountains of Gilboa, no dew and no rain upon you, and fields of offerings: for there the shield of the powerful was cast away--the shield of Saul as not anointed with oil. From the blood of the wounded and from the fat of the powerful, the bow of Jonathan drew not back in the rear, and the sword of Saul will not turn back empty. Saul and Jonathan beloved and pleasant in their lives, and in their death they were not separated: they were swift above eagles, they were strong above lions. Daughters of Israel weep for Saul, having clothed you with scarlet, with delights; bringing up ornaments of gold upon your garments. How have the powerful fallen in the midst of the battle Jonathan wounded upon the heights! Distress to me for thee, my brother Jonathan: thou wert sweet to me exceedingly: thy love to me was wonderful above the love of women. How have the powerful fallen and the vessels of war perished.
