Indeed, my father does nothing, great or small, without telling me. So why would he hide this matter from me? This cannot be true!” / But David again vowed, “Your father knows very well that I have found favor in your eyes, and he has said, ‘Jonathan must not know of this, or he will be grieved.’ As surely as the LORD lives and as you yourself live, there is but a step between me and death.” <a href="/1_samuel/24-16.htm">1 Samuel 24:16-22</a> When David had finished saying these things, Saul called back, “Is that your voice, David my son?” Then Saul wept aloud / and said to David, “You are more righteous than I, for you have rewarded me with good, though I have rewarded you with evil. / And you have declared this day how you have treated me well, for when the LORD delivered me into your hand, you did not kill me. ... <a href="/1_samuel/23-16.htm">1 Samuel 23:16-18</a> And Saul’s son Jonathan came to David in Horesh and strengthened his hand in God, / saying, “Do not be afraid, for my father Saul will never lay a hand on you.

His actions demonstrate loyalty and friendship, reflecting the covenant made between Jonathan and David in <a href="/1_samuel/18-3.htm">1 Samuel 18:3</a>. This summoning indicates Jonathan's commitment to protect David, despite the risk to his own position and relationship with Saul. Jonathan's actions can be seen as a type of Christ, who mediates on behalf of humanity.and told him all these things Jonathan informs David of Saul's intentions, showing transparency and trust. This communication is vital for David's survival, as Saul's jealousy and fear of David's rising popularity and God's favor have led him to plot against David.

It suggests a temporary resolution to the conflict, though underlying tensions remain. David's presence with Saul "as before" highlights the cyclical nature of their relationship, marked by moments of peace and conflict.
