Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives, and in their death they were not divided: they were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions.

The Lord do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me.

The soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his on soul.

Whatsoever thy soul desireth, I will even do it for thee.
