1 SAMUEL 20:17 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And Jonathan caused David to swear again, because he loved him: for he loved him as he loved his own soul.”
So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David — the narrator's *va'yasem Yehonatan berit et David*, Jonathan made covenant with the house of David, marks a formal renewal or restatement of the covenant. The phrase *et bet David*, with the house of David, extends the covenant beyond the personal relationship between Jonathan and David to encompass David's entire lineage, suggesting that Jonathan recognizes David's dynastic future.
