Saul loved David at first. Then he hated him and tried to kill him twice
by throwing his spear at him. David escaped and hid himself. Now Saul
had a son named Jonathan, who thought a great deal of David. It made him
feel very bad to see his father trying to kill him. Jonathan thought that
Saul might get over his anger in two or three days and take David back.
But when he was sure that Saul really meant to kill David, he went to
his hiding place and told him how he might get away. After they had wept
and kissed each other and promised always to be friends, David fled and
Jonathan went back to his father.
