JONATHAN: COURAGEOUS
FRIENDSHIP
I Samuel 20: 4-17.
4 Then said Jonathan unto David,
whatsover thy soul desireth, I will
even do it for thee.
5 And David said unto Jonathan,
Behold, tomorrow is the new moon,
and I should not fail to sit with the
king at meat: but let me bo, that I
may higde myself in the field unto
the third day at even.
6 If thy father at all miss mie,
then say, David earnestly asked
leave of me that he might run to
Bethlehem his city: for there is a
yearly sacrifice thefOe fpr a\U the
family.
7 If he say thus, It is well; thy
servant shall have peace: but if he
be very wroth, then be sure that
evil is determined by him.
8 Therefore thou shalt deal kindly
with thy servant; for than hast brot
thy servant into a covenant of the
Lord with thee: notwithstanding, if
there be in me iniquity, slay me thy-
self; for why shouldest thou bring
me to thy father?
9 And Jonathan said, Far "Be it
from thee: for it I knew certainly
that evil were determined by my
father to come upon thee, then would
not I t&H it thee?
10 Then said David to ^Jonathan,
Who shall tell me? or what if thy

11 And Jonathan said unlo David,
Come, anil let us got out into the
t .i Id. And they went out both of
ihem into the field.
1 i And Jonathan said unto David,
i O Lord God of Israel, when 1 have
ounded my father about tomorrow
any time, or the third day, and, be-
riold, if there be good toward David,
and I then send not ;unto thee, and
shew it thee;
13 The Lord do so and much more
to Jonathan: but if it please my fath-
er to do thee evil, then I will shew
it thee, and send thee away, that
thou inayest go in peace: and the
Lord be with thee, as he hath been
with my Father.
14 And thou shalt not only while
yet I live shew me the kindness of
the Lord, that I die' not:
15 But also thou shalt not cut off
thy kindness from my house forever:
no, not when the Lord hath cut off
the enemies of David every one from
the face of the earth..
It is refreshing to turn from the
dark and disappointing career of
I Saul to the noble and devout char-
I acter of. his oldest son, Jonathan.
The story recorded of the attack on
the Philistine garrison by Jonathan
and his armor-bearer is or.e of the
classic stories of tifue heroism. He
is a young man of powerful physical
strength. He is a man of courage and
initiative. Unlike his father, he ap-
pears to be devoutly religious, a'true
worshipper of Jehovah. That he was
popular with the people is shown by
their rescuing him from the rash and
foolish vow of his father.
All that we know of Jonathan,
ave his death on the battlefield of
Gilboa, is connected with David, and
this friendship between Jonathan
and David is the most nearly perfect
of any friendship in human annals.
The friendship between David and
Jonathan started with a friendly act
of Jonathan. The shepherd boy, Da-
vid, had come to the camp of Israel
and had performed the great feat of
slaying the giant, Goliath. Saul was
delighted that such an enemy had
been brought down, and had invited
the hero to come home with him. The
shepherd lad in his rude garments
of the field nsust have felt himself
unfit to enter the home of the king.
Then Jonathan did the splendid thing
of giving David his own royal gar-
ments. and his soldier's equipment,
thaifc Da\<id be not embaruasaed.
There is no finer expression of
friendship than that of smoothing
th.3 way of others.
To kill David became the obsession
of Saul. The hatred that Saul held
for David arose when the women
crave Dav id thje highest ^raiae |n
their song commemorating his vic-
tory over Goliath. Saul began to look
upon David as a formidable rival to
the throne, and we might think that
the poison of jealousy would enter
the soul of Jonathan. On this occas-
ion Saul is taking active steps to kill
David, of which Jonathan warns Da-
vid. Then Jonathan goes to his fath-
er with a plea for David, arguing the
uprightness of David, his valor, his
value to the kingdom, and pointing
'flit to Saul the sin he would commit
by slaying him. Every word of this
had the ring of sincerity, ana suc-
ceeded in driving the black clouds of
hatred from the heart of Saul. While
Jonathan was the sincere friend of
David, he was no less a devoted son
to his father. There is never a note of
treachery in tnis friendship*. Jona-
than was wiTing to yield the king-
dom to David, neither of them would
move a hand to take the kingdom
from Saul. This friendship is marked
by its unselfish service.
