1 Samuel 18:3 in Context — 1 Samuel 18

1 E assim que ele acabou de falar com Saul, a alma de Jônatas se apegou à de Davi, e Jônatas o amou como à sua alma.

2 E Saul o tomou naquele dia, e não o deixou voltar à casa de seu pai.

3 E fizeram aliança Jônatas e Davi, porque ele lhe amava como a sua alma.

4 E Jônatas despiu a roupa que tinha sobre si, e deu-a a Davi, e outras roupas suas, até sua espada, e seu arco, e seu cinto.

5 E Davi saía para onde quer que Saul o enviasse, e portava-se prudentemente. Fê-lo, portanto, Saul capitão da gente de guerra, e era aceito aos olhos de todo o povo, e nos olhos dos criados de Saul.
