Read 1 Samuel 20.18-42: In verse 30: Nakedness is a euphemism for the genitals. Saul's remarks is course and insulting. He accuses Jonathan of treason and says that he is a shame to his mother's genitals. In verse 31: Saul perceives that David will be king if he is not killed. In verse 33: Saul tries to kill Jonathan with his spear just as he tried to kill David. In verses 41-42a: This is an addition emphasizing the affection and loyalty between David and Jonathan. If the two had been able to meet openly like this, the sign in the previous verses would have be unnecessary. Comments or Questions..
