1 Samuel — Chapter 20

Cornelius à Lapide SJ · Biblical Commentary

Verse 17

Jonathan made David swear again, because he loved him; for he loved him as he loved his own soul. Lapide: model of holy friendship — Jonathan loved David more than himself and more than his own father's kingdom; a figure of how the friends of God love his elect.
