COVENANT OF FRIENDSHIP

I SAY IT BEFORE AND I WILL SAY IT AGAIN THAT A FRIEND TO ME IS LIKE A PRECIOUS GEM ONCE YOU FOUND IT, YOU WILL TREASURE IT FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.

SOMEONE SAID FRIENDSHIP IS UNAPPRECIATED IN AMERICA TODAY, I BELIEVE NOT ONLY IN AMERICA BUT EVERYWHERE AROUND THE GLOBE. I WISH TO BRING BACK THE SPIRIT OF TRUE FRIENDSHIP.

THE FRIENDSHIP BETWEEN JONATHAN AND DAVID IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO HAPPEN IN OUR MODERN TIME.

POLITICALLY SPEAKING, DAVID WAS JONATHAN'S RIVAL FOR THE CROWN AND HIS FATHER'S NO.1 HATED ENEMY BECAUSE OF DAVID'S GROWING POPULARITY. BUT THIS IS OF NO SIGNIFICANCE TO JONATHAN COMPARED WITH HIS FRIENDSHIP TO DAVID.

THE SOUL OF JONATHAN KNIT WITH THE SOUL OF DAVID AND JONATHAN LOVE HIM AS HIS OWN SOUL. THE TWO MADE A COVENANT OF FRIENDSHIP.

IN MANY OCCASIONS, JONATHAN SAVES THE LIFE OF DAVID AGAINST HIS OWN FATHER. AND IN MANY INSTANCES, DAVID HAD A CHANCE TO KILL KING SAUL THE FATHER OF HIS LOYAL FRIEND BUT HE PREPARED NOT TO DO SO.

A FRIEND STAND SHOULDER TO SHOULDER, SEE EYE TO EYE AND STAND SIDE TO SIDE.

"...THERE IS A FRIEND WHO STICKS CLOSER THAN A BROTHER".
