Friendship

[Bible references: 1 Samuel 18-20; Proverbs 17:17]

In this difficult period, David would form with Saul’s son, Jonathan, the best friendship he ever had. Jonathan recognized that his own father, Saul, was rejected as king, but instead of jealously trying to hold onto what he could not have, he accepted David as the heir to the throne.[1] In fact, Jonathan was crucial to David’s survival.


[1] Eliot, Jim. “He is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep, to gain that which he cannot lose.”

Observe

Read 1 Samuel 18-20. Jonathan, risking his own safety, warned David when Saul was going to kill him. How do we develop a friendship like Jonathan and David?
