So the army sent to Shiloh, and they took from there the ark of the covenant of the Lord of hosts who sits between the cherubim. Now the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phineas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.

and called David's enemies to account." So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David.

When the two of them had made a covenant before the Lord, David stayed on at Horesh, but Jonathan went to his house.
