1 Samuel 18:3 in Context — 1 Samuel 18

1 David avait achevé de parler à Saül. Et dès lors l’âme de Jonathan fut attachée à l’âme de David, et Jonathan l’aima comme son âme.

2 Ce même jour Saül retint David, et ne le laissa pas retourner dans la maison de son père.

3 Jonathan fit alliance avec David, parce qu’il l’aimait comme son âme.

4 Il ôta le manteau qu’il portait, pour le donner à David; et il lui donna ses vêtements, même son épée, son arc et sa ceinture.

5 David allait et réussissait partout où l’envoyait Saül; il fut mis par Saül à la tête des gens de guerre, et il plaisait à tout le peuple, même aux serviteurs de Saül.
