You are going to be the king of Israel, and I will be next to you, as my father, Saul, is well aware.” 18 So the two of them renewed their solemn pact before the Lord. Then Jonathan returned home, while David stayed at Horesh.</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">ADDITIONAL VERSES:</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing.
