1 Samuel 18:3 in Context — 1 Samuel 18

1 Y ASÍ que él hubo acabado de hablar con Saúl, el alma de Jonathán fué ligada con la de David, y amólo Jonathán como á su alma.

2 Y Saúl le tomó aquel día, y no le dejó volver á casa de su padre.

3 E hicieron alianza Jonathán y David, porque él le amaba como á su alma.

4 Y Jonathán se desnudó la ropa que tenía sobre sí, y dióla á David, [y otras] ropas suyas, hasta su espada, y su arco, y su talabarte.

5 Y salía David á donde quiera que Saúl le enviaba, y portábase prudentemente. Hízolo por tanto Saúl capitán de gente de guerra, y era acepto en los ojos de todo el pueblo, y en los ojos de los criados de Saúl.
