1 Samuel 18:1-4 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

1. When David had finished speaking with Saul, Jonathan committed himself to David, and loved him as much as he loved himself.

2. Saul kept David with him from that day on and did not let him return to his father’s house.

3. Jonathan made a covenant with David because he loved him as much as himself.

4. Then Jonathan removed the robe he was wearing and gave it to David, along with his military tunic, his sword, his bow, and his belt.
