1 Samuel 18:3-5

New International Reader's Version

³ Jonathan made a covenant with David because he loved him just as he loved himself. ⁴ Jonathan took off the robe he was wearing and gave it to David. He also gave him his military clothes. He even gave him his sword, his bow and his belt.

⁵ David did everything Saul sent him to do. He did it so well that Saul gave him a high rank in the army. That pleased Saul’s whole army, including his officers.
