This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
the soul of Jonathan: The modesty, piety, and courage of David were so congenial to the character of the amiable Jonathan, that they attracted his most cordial esteem and affection; so that the most intimate friendship subsisted between them from that time, and they loved each other with pure hearts fervently. Their friendship could not be affected by the common vicissitudes of life; and it exemplifies by fact what the ancients have written on the subject.
Την φιλιαν ισοτητα ειναι, και μιαν ψυχην τον φιλον ετερον αυτον. "Friendship is an entire sameness, and one soul. A friend is another self." 1Sa 14:1-14, 1Sa 14:45; Gen 44:30; Jdg 20:11; 1Ch 12:17; Psa 86:11; Col 2:2
