Instead of being angry that he was no longer heir to the throne, he protected his friend David, the new heir, from the wrath of his father Saul.  Jonathan tried to talk to his father, but when he realized he still wanted David dead, he gave David a secret verbal signal while shooting arrows outside so David would know to flee.

Once, when Jonathan and his [[armour]]bearer were in the wilderness of Michmash, they were discovered by a [[garrison]] of [[Philistens]]. On a "half acre of land, which a yoke of oxen might plow", the two of them killed twenty men.
