Digital Logos Edition
Imagine a young man who has it all. He comes from a powerful family and is heir apparent to the family fortune. Everyone knows that one day he is destined to take his father’s place as head of the business. Fortunately, he has the temperament and giftedness to fill his father’s shoes. Plus, the daily exposure to his dad’s dealings have prepared him for the responsibilities to be a sure success.
Yet this talented son is willing to sacrifice everything for another capable man—his closest friend whom he believes is the right choice to run the empire.
Where there could be contention... there is instead undying commitment. His extraordinary decision is unprecedented—unparalleled. Where there could be rivalry... there is genuine respect. In truth, David is God’s anointed, and his friend Jonathan does everything possible to support the one who will rightfully rule, including protecting David from his own jealous father... the reigning King of Israel.
Jonathan is willing to sacrifice everything—even the throne—for the higher good of his friend. He enters into a covenant friendship with the man God has chosen as king, and he intends for their sworn oath of friendship to have an impact for generations to come....
“Jonathan said to David, ‘Whatever you want me to do, I’ll do for you.’” (1 Samuel 20:4)
