1 SAMUEL 20:4 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Then said Jonathan unto David, Whatsoever thy soul desireth, I will even do it for thee.”
And Jonathan said to David, Whatever your soul desires, I will do it for you — Jonathan's *mah ta'amor naphsh'cha v'asa'ah lecha* (whatever your soul desires) is an oath of unlimited loyalty. The verb *asa'ah*, I will do, commits Jonathan absolutely to David's service, subordinating his own interests to his friend's survival. This verse encapsulates Jonathan's character: his willingness to act for David regardless of consequence.
