The friendship between a young David and Jonathan, the son of Saul, is one of the most remarkable examples of true friendship in the Bible. It is often studied and revered as an example of unselfish love and devotion between friends, based on mutual respect, trust, and shared faith in God.
While the Book of Psalms does not explicitly mention David’s friendship with Jonathan, many believe that the themes of friendship, loyalty, and love in various psalms can reflect the essence of their relationship. David’s lament for Jonathan and Saul in 2 Samuel 1:17-27, although not a psalm, is a profound expression of his grief and love for Jonathan.
