1 Samuel 18:3-5
New English Translation
3 Jonathan made a covenant with David, for he loved him as much as he did his own life.[a] 4 Jonathan took off the robe he was wearing and gave it to David, along with the rest of his gear including his sword, his bow, and even his belt.
5 On every mission on which Saul sent him, David achieved success. So Saul appointed him over the men of war. This pleased not only all the army, but also Saul’s servants.[b]
