1 Samuel 20:1-42

20:1-13 | God was showing David his true support system.

20:14-16 | It was common practice for a new king to murder all the heirs of the former king, thus ensuring fewer threats to the throne. Jonathan asked that David and his house (descendants) to spare him and his house. David fulfilled this promise when he extended kindness and hospitality to Mephibosheth (2 Sam. 9:3-7; 21:7).

20:11-16 | In this scene, Jonathan once and for all transferred his allegiance from his father to David.

20:18-42 | Jonathan and David honored their vows to each other in the events that followed.
