Jonathan and David: The Heir Who Gave the Robe
A guided reading of 1 Samuel 18, 20, and 23
Twelve scenes about a crown prince of the kingdom of Israel who, on seeing the young man who had killed Goliath, voluntarily handed over the five visible insignia of his own right to the throne; a formal Hebrew covenant ratified four times across the next two decades; a death in battle before he saw the successor crowned; and a lament the successor composed afterward.
This journey is read in full inside Hesed.
