1 Samuel 20:33
“For that commendable friendship which maintains virtue is to be preferred most certainly to wealth or honors or power. It is not apt to be preferred to virtue indeed, but to follow after it. So it was with Jonathan, who for his affection's sake avoided neither his father's displeasure nor the danger to his own safety.”

31For so long as the son of Jesse lives upon the earth, thy kingdom shall not be established: now then send and take the young man, for he shall surely die.
32And Jonathan answered Saul, Why is he to die? what has he done?
— 1 Samuel 20:33 —
34And Jonathan sprang up from the table in great anger, and did not eat bread on the second day of the month, for he grieved bitterly for David, because his father determined on mischief against him.
35And morning came, and Jonathan went out to the field, as he appointed to do for a signal to David, and a little boy was with him.
