18 As soon as he had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David, and Jonathan (A)loved him as his own soul.
3 Then Jonathan made a covenant with David, because (A)he loved him as his own soul.
17 And Jonathan made David swear again by his love for him, (A)for he loved him as he loved his own soul.
