Many or few. Doesn’t matter to God.

Saul’s eldest son. Soldier. I’d rather climb a cliff with one friend and trust the LORD than sit under a tree and wait. Later I met a shepherd boy called David, and I loved him as much as I love myself.

Gibeah, BenjaminFirst seen 1 Samuel 13:2

Known for

  • Climbing to the Philistine outpost with his armour-bearer (1 Samuel 14:13)
  • Eating the honey (1 Samuel 14:27)
  • His covenant of friendship with David (1 Samuel 18:3)
  • Warning David with the arrows (1 Samuel 20)
  • Dying beside his father on Mount Gilboa (1 Samuel 31:2)

Come on, let’s go over to their outpost. Maybe the LORD will act for us. Nothing stops the LORD saving, whether there are loads of us or just a few.

Nobody told me. Dipped the end of my stick in some honey, had a bit, and could see straight again. Imagine if the men had eaten.

I love him as myself. Gave him my robe, my sword, my bow and my belt.

Dad told all of us to kill David. I asked him why he’d kill an innocent man for no reason. He actually listened. Swore David won’t die.

Jonathan@jonathan

Stood up for David at dinner. My father threw his spear at me.

Replying to @jonathan

Said as long as David lives, I’ll never be king. Left the table and didn’t eat all day.

Jonathan@jonathan

Replying to @david

Go. Go safely. We’ve sworn it in the LORD’s name, you and me, and our kids after us, for ever.

Jonathan@jonathan

He’d only just finished talking with my father, and that was it. I love him as much as my own life. So we’ve made a covenant, a solemn promise of friendship. I gave him my robe and my tunic, my sword, my bow and my belt.
