==David and Jonathan==

The committed friendship and Godly brotherly love between these two notable Biblical characters, amidst much danger and stress, makes their story one of the most remarkable ones in the [[Bible]]. The story of their friendship is mainly told in [[1 Samuel]], chapters 13-23,31 and 2 Samuel 1, two books which contain the history of the kingdom of God in Israel, from the termination of the age of the judges to the close of the reign of king David.<ref>Keil & Delitzsch Commentary on the Old Testament</ref>

Both Jonathan and David were daring warriors for Israel in its theocratic kingdom, in the land which formerly was that of Canaan, in which dangerous enemies were yet to be fought. In addition, the paranoia of [[King Saul]] over losing his kingdom to David, who was anointed by God through the prophet Samuel to be king, caused David, and finally his fellow compatriot Jonathan (who recognized his future kingship), to be in danger of life.
