1 Samuel 20
Was Jonathan Saul’s oldest son? If so, does that indicate that Saul was old enough to be David’s father? It appears that Saul reigned longer than I had imagined based on the fact that after only two years on the throne he offered sacrifice without authority and was told that his kingdom would not continue.
How sad for Jonathan to be forced to choose between his father and his innocent friend. Worse yet is the fact that in many ways he could not choose but was forced to stay by his father’s side and watch the injustice heaped upon his friend.
