A Good Friend

Read the Story

Jonathan was Saul's son. He loved David as much as himself. They made a promise to be friends. Jonathan gave David his robe and his bow.

The women sang a song. They said Saul killed thousands, but David killed ten thousands. Saul was angry. He was jealous of David. He watched David from that day on.

Saul threw a spear at David. David got away. David was wise in all he did. God was with him. All Israel loved David.
