约拿单与大卫结盟；(喻)百年友好

And Jonathan said unto David, O Lord God of Israel, when I have sounded my father about tomorrow any time, or he third day, and, behold, if there be good toward David, and 1 then send not unto thee, and shew it there;

The Lord do so and much more to Jonathan: but if it please my father to do thee evil, then I will shew it thee, and send thee away, that thou mayest go in peace: and the Lord be with thee, as he hath been with my father.

And thou shalt not only while yet I live shew me the kindness of the Lord, that I die not:

But also thou shalt not cut off thy kindness from my house for ever: no, not when the Lord hath cut off the enemies of David every one from the face of the earth.

So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, Let the Lord ever require it at the hand of David's enemies.

And Jonathan caused to swear again, because he loved him: for he loved him as he loved his own soul.

1 Sam.20:12-17

约拿单对大卫说：“愿耶和华以色列的神为证。

明日约在这时候，或第三日，我探我父亲的意思，若向你有好意，我岂不打发人告诉你吗?

你父亲若有意害你，我不告诉你，使你平平安安地走，愿耶和华重重地降罚于我。愿耶和华与你同在，如同从前与我父亲同在一样。

你要照耶和华的慈爱恩待我。

不但我活着的时候免我死亡，

就是我死后，耶和华从地上剪除你仇敌的时候，你也永不可向我家绝了恩惠。

”

于是约拿单与大卫家结盟，说：“愿耶和华借大卫的仇敌追讨背约的罪。”

约拿单因爱大卫如同爱自己的性命，就使他再起誓。
