JONATHAN AND DAVID FRIENDSHIP’S COVENANT

Jonathan and David Friendship’s Covenant.

SAUL CHECKED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD

Saul Checked By The Spirit Of God. He also took off his [royal] robes [and armor] and prophesied before Samuel and lay down naked all that day and night. So they say, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”

PROSPERED IN SPITE OF PLOTS

Prospered In Spite Of Plots. Then the Philistine commanders (princes) came out to battle, and it happened as often as they did, that David acted more wisely and had more success than all Saul’s servants. So his name was highly esteemed.

SAUL’S JEALOUSY OF DAVID

Saul’s Jealousy of David. Now it came about on the next day that an evil spirit from God came forcefully on Saul, and he raved [madly] inside his house, while David was playing the harp with his hand, as usual; and there was a spear in Saul’s hand. Saul hurled the spear, for he thought, “I will pin David to the wall.” But David evaded him twice.

DAVID AND JONATHAN’S FRIENDSHIP

David and Jonathan’s Friendship. When David had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was bonded to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as himself.

DAVID WINS THE LORD’S BATTLE

David Wins The Lord’s Battle. This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.

DAVID TRUSTS HIS FORMER DELIVERER

David Trusts His Former Deliverer. David said, “The LORD who rescued me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, He will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine.” And Saul said to David, “Go, and may the LORD be with you.”

DAVID UNAWED BY THE GIANT

David Unawed By The Giant. Then David spoke to the men who were standing by him, “What will be done for the man who kills this Philistine and removes the disgrace [of his taunting] from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he has taunted and defied the armies of the living God?”

DAVID AND GOLIATH

David and Goliath. Then a champion came out from the camp of the Philistines named Goliath of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.
He had a bronze helmet on his head, and wore a coat of scale-armor (overlapping metal plates) which weighed 5,000 shekels of bronze.
He had bronze shin protectors on his legs and a bronze javelin hung between his shoulders.

THE YOUNG HARPER BEFORE THE DEJECTED KING

The Young Harper Before The Dejected King. So Saul sent messengers to Jesse and said, “Send me David your son, who is with the flock.” Jesse took a donkey [loaded with] bread and a jug of wine and a young goat, and sent them to Saul with David his son.
