Présentation de l'éditeur

Saul, the first King of I srael, and David, the great king, so overshadowed Jonathan, who was but a prince, that he interested theB iblical narrator mainly as a factor in the feud between the great rivals. That the situation in which he was placed was tragic, and that he displayed elevation of character, is clear ;but there is lacking the wealth of detail with which his career and personality would have been developed had he been of greater political importance. For this reason I have felt that the story, as it is told in the first book of Samuel, could be elaborated with advantage. The setting which I have wrought for it is adorned with gems of thought and expression taken from theB ible freely and at random. These and other conscious borrowings are acknowledged in the notes.
