V.1-4 David tells Jonathan of his great danger, and Jonathan bravely answers. That was a wonderful promise to make, but sad to say poor Jonathan failed to keep it, as we shall see. If we really love someone, we are glad to do what they desire.
V.14-17 David promises that he will not only show kindness to Jonathan but to his house (family) forever.
V.18-34 Jonathan is next in line to the throne, but he has to choose between his father and his best friend. To which one shall he remain true? Have you ever faced a test like that? Let us always be true to our Lord Jesus Who died to save us and to deliver us from our mighty enemy.
V.35-39 In verses 19 to 22 Jonathan told David how he was going to get the message as to whether it would be safe to come into the king’s house or whether David should run away.
V.41-42 They loved one another and David’s love was greater. Count the number of times it tells us of the love they had for each other. Don’t forget, David is a picture of Christ, Jonathan a picture of a believer who loves the Lord.
