1 Samuel 20:41-42
When the boy left, David came out from the south side of the rock. He bowed facedown on the ground before Jonathan. He did this three times. Then David and Jonathan kissed each other. They cried together, but David cried the most.
Jonathan said to David, “Go in peace. We have promised by the Lord that we will be friends. We said, “The Lord will be a witness between you and me, and between our descendants forever.” Then David left, and Jonathan went back to work.
