1 Samuel 18:1-4 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

1. And it happened that, when he had completed speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan adhered to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him like his own soul.

2. And Saul took him that day, and would not permit him to return to his father's house.

3. Then David and Jonathan formed a pact. For he loved him like his own soul.

4. And Jonathan took off the coat that he was wearing, and he gave it to David, with the rest of his garments, even to his sword and bow, and even his belt.
