Johnathan was a faithful friend to David,
A friendship that never faded.

From the first acquaintance of David and Johnathan,
A love spark penetrated the heart of each one.

Johnathan loved David more than his own soul,
To promote him to the Kingship was his goal.

Johnathan and David made a covenant of friendship;
Jonathan demonstrated his love for King David,

When he removed his princely robe and  his sword and bow,
And gave them all to David that he might defeat every foe.

Johnathan, the son of King Saul,
Saved David from many a fall.

When *King Saul,  in a jealous rage of anger,
Sought to **** *David, because *they were friends no longer,

Johnathan intervened and saved David's life,
Not just once,  but more than twice.

Now Johnathan was a courageous warrior,
And was known everywhere as a vicious fighter.

Twice Johnathan invaded the Philistines camp alone,
And retuned victoriously with out even a broken  bone.

But as death is Divinely appointed unto all,
Johnathan died honorably in a battle against
The Philistines, led by his Father, King Saul.

Johnathan and David are great examples of
Faithful friends.
