david and jonathan

how is the relationship between david and jonathan different from others we have seen so far?

well, büch, if i didn't have a splitting headache, i would tell you:
that david and jonathan are flaminly gay [hello, they have a pathological need to run into open spaces and make promises to each other]
that it is not biblically normal for the heir to a throne to happily give up said throne to a new guy
that it's love at first sight ["When [David] finished speaking with Saul, Jonathan's soul became bound up with the soul of David; Jonathan loved David as himself" (I Samuel 18:1).]
that we've never before seen anything like this
that the sing david sings for jonathan talks more about what j. meant to him than what he did for god or the people of israel
and THAT THEY ARE FLAMINGLY GAY [really, it needs to be said twice]
