In this Bible Story, David and Jonathan make promises to one another. Jonathan would protect David from Saul, and David would show favor and love to Jonathan and his family for all his days. Jonathan learned that Saul’s hatred for David still burned hot, so he warned David and he fled to the wilderness. This story is inspired by 1 Samuel 20.

Today's Bible verse is 1 Samuel 20:38 from the King James Version.

Episode 88: David and Jonathan met together outside of the city, for David was afraid to enter it anymore lest Saul find him and make another attempt on his life. Though Jonathan could hardly believe that his dad still meant to kill him, he agreed to cover for David. Jonathan also agreed to investigate his father’s heart and report what he found back to David, all he asked was that David would show kindness to his descendants, even after God had made him king.
