(2 Samuel kjv@1:23) He was also famous as a warrior, ( kjv@1Chronicles:12:2) as is shown by the courage he showing in attacking the garrison of the Philistines, in company with is armor-bearer only, slaying twenty men and putting an army to flight. ( kjv@1Samuel:14:6-16) During the pursuit, Jonathan, who had not heard of the rash curse, ch. ( kjv@1Samuel:14:24) which Saul invoked on any one who ate before the evening, tasted the honey which lay on the ground. Saul would have sacrificed him; but the people interposed in behalf of the hero of that great day, and Jonathan was saved. ch. ( kjv@1Samuel:14:24-45) The chief interest of Jonathan’s career is derived from the friendship with David, which began on the day of David’s return from the victory over the champion of Gath, and continued till his death. Their last meeting was in and forest of Ziph, during Saul’s pursuit of David. ( kjv@1Samuel:23:16-18) From this time forth we hear no more till the battle of Gilboa. In that battle he fell.

(2 Samuel 21:12) The news of his death occasioned the celebrated elegy of David. He left a son, Mephibosheth. MEPHIBOSHETH A nephew of David. (2 Samuel 21:21; kjv@1Chronicles:20:7) He engaged in single combat with and slew a gigantic Philistine of Gath. (2 Samuel 21:21) (B.C. 1018.) The son of Abiathar, the high priest, is the last descendant of Eli of whom we hear anything. (2 Samuel 15:36; 17:15-21; kjv@Kings:1:42-43) (B.C. 1023.) One of David’s heroes.

Jonathan @ whom Jehovah gave, the name of fifteen or more persons that are mentioned in Scripture. The chief of these are,

(1.) A Levite descended from Gershom kjv@Judges:18:30). His history is recorded in 17:7-13 and 18:30. The Rabbins changed this name into Manasseh "to screen the memory of the great lawgiver from the stain of having so unworthy an apostate among his near descendants." He became priest of the idol image at Dan, and this office continued in his family till the Captivity.

(2.) The eldest son of king Saul, and the bosom friend of David. He is first mentioned when he was about thirty years of age, some time after his father's accession to the throne ( kjv@1Samuel:13:2). Like his father, he was a man of great strength and activity ( kjv@2Samuel:1:23), and excelled in archery and slinging ( kjv@1Chronicles:12:2; kjv@2Samuel:1:22). The affection that evidently subsisted between him and his father was interrupted by the growth of Saul's insanity. At length, "in fierce anger," he left his father's presence and cast in his lot with the cause of David ( kjv@1Samuel:20:34). After an eventful career, interwoven to a great extent with that of David, he fell, along with his father and his two brothers, on the fatal field of Gilboa ( kjv@1Samuel:31:2 kjv@1Samuel:31:8). He was first buried at Jabesh-gilead, but his remains were afterwards removed with those of his father to Zelah, in Benjamin ( kjv@2Samuel:21:12-14). His death was the occasion of David's famous elegy of "the Song of the Bow" ( kjv@2Samuel:1:17-27). He left one son five years old, Merib-baal, or Mephibosheth ( kjv@2Samuel:4:4; comp. kjv@1Chronicles:8:34).

(3.) Son of the high priest Abiathar, and one who adhered to David at the time of Absalom's rebellion ( kjv@2Samuel:15:27 kjv@2Samuel:15:36). He is the last descendant of Eli of whom there is any record.

(4.) Son of Shammah, and David's nephew, and also one of his chief warriors ( kjv@2Samuel:21:21). He slew a giant in Gath.
