David’s Love Towards Saul & Jonathan
Even with the death of Saul David remains honourable to his king.
He doesn’t say, “Ha! Deserves you right for what you did to me”, instead he remains honourable even to his deceased father-in-law.
Even God himself does not take pleasure in the death of the wicked:
How much more so should we?
Wonderful love of Jonathan
2 Samuel 1:
How had we seen Jonathan’s love towards David?
After David’s success against Goliath, we read:
1 Samuel 18:1,
He helped and protected David, when Saul sought his life:
He spoke good of David to others, especially his father:
He cared for David:
He strengthened David in the Lord, when his father pursued:
He was honourable to David, sacrificing his own position:
1 Samuel
How had Jonathan’s love toward David surpassed the love of women?
The bond between the two was very strong as Scripture reiterates several times regarding their soul being knit together, and it certainly was not sexual as some would like us to think.
There are a couple of points to note about how Jonathan had loved David exceeded the “love of women”:
In those days marriages were pre-arranged.
Saul even offered his daughter Michal upon David achieving a great feat (100 foreskins of the Philistines); and
David did not obey the Lord in having only one wife for life - in contrast to Saul who appears to have only had one wife.
David perhaps didn’t appreciate the true love of a wife as by this time had three wives (even though Michal had been given away - ).
