1 Samuel 23:16-18 The last words and legacy of Samuel

16 And Saul’s son Jonathan went to David at Horesh and helped him find strength in God.

17 “Don’t be afraid,” he said. “My father Saul will not lay a hand on you. You will be king over Israel, and I will be second to you. Even my father Saul knows this.”

18 The two of them made a covenant before the Lord. Then Jonathan went home, but David remained at Horesh.
