Read 1 Samuel 18.1-5. In 18.1-30: Saul's jealousy of David. In verses 1-5: These verses interrupt the initial narrative, which continues in v. 6, with the return home after David's victory. They continue the supplemental material from ch. 17. In verses 2-3:Jonathan's love for David implies political loyalty in addition his personal affection. In verse 4: Jonathan's act is highly symbolic. By giving his royal robe and armor to David, Jonathan, in effect, hands over the succession to the throne. In verse 5: This verse is also supplemental. In the initial narrative David is promoted for quite a different reason (vv. 12-13). Comments or Questions..
