16 Men Jonatan, Sauls son, gick för att leta reda på David och när han fann honom, uppmuntrade han David att lita på Gud. 17 ”Var inte rädd”, sa Jonatan. ”Min far kommer aldrig att få tag i dig! Du ska bli Israels kung och jag kommer att bli din närmaste man. Det vet min far Saul också.” 18 De slöt sedan ett förbund med varandra inför Herren. Och efter det återvände Jonatan hem, medan David stannade kvar i Horsha.
