Jonathan and David have a commitment ceremony, Saul takes David as his son, and Jonathan gives David a dower.
1 Samuel 18:1 And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
2 And Saul took him that day, and would not let him return to his father's house.
3 And David and Jonathan made a covenant, for be loved him as his own soul.
4 And Jonathan stripped himself of the coat with which he was clothed, and gave it to David, and the rest of his garments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.

2 Samuel 1:26 I grieve for thee, my brother Jonathan: exceeding beautiful, and preferable to me above the love of women. As the mother loveth her only son, so did I love thee.
