FRIENDSHIP BETWEEN DAVID AND JONATHAN

Jonathan was the son of Saul, the first king of Israel. 

David was the son of Jesse, a shepherd. 

David and Jonathan became friends after God helped David to kill Goliath of Philistine as he lived in the house of King Saul, and married his daughter.

 Jonathan and David became close when David was living in the palace. 

Jonathan gave David his robe, a bow, arrow and girdle for presents as a mark of their friendship. 

Jonathan chose David as his friend because he was a good boy. 

He was also very brave and he trusted in the Lord.
