NKJV 365

NKJV 365 Day Reading Plan

Day 245 of 365 Jonathan and David reaffirmed their covenant of friendship. Jonathan made a covenant: This refers to the agreement Jonathan sought from David in vv. 14, 15. Let the Lord require it: Jonathan prayed that the Lord would hold David accountable to the obligations of the covenant. Out of love for David, Jonathan againrequested that David reaffirm his vow (18:1; 19:1). David and Jonathan were holding each other accountable. Taken from NKJV Study Bible 1 Samuel 20:16-17 NASB 16 So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, "May the L ord require it at the hands of David's enemies." 17Jonathan made David vow again because of his love for him, because he loved him as he loved his own life.
