A chiasm in 1 Samuel 17:58-18:1 surrounding the covenant of Jonathan and David, the adoption of David into Saul's house, and Jonathan's recognition of the transfer of power to David.
- 17:58 – David the son of Jesse
- 18:1 – David spoke to Saul
- Jonathan and David’s souls bound up together because Jonathan loved David as himself
- 18:2 – Saul took David that day (adopted) and wouldn’t let David go back to his father’s house
- 18:3 – Jonathan and David cut a covenant, because Jonathan loved David as himself
- 18:4 – Jonathan gave David his robe, clothes, sword, and bow
- 18:5 – David acts as the son of Saul
