MARK OF THE COVENANT
As a child, Jonathan admires his loving father, the agrarian King Saul, anointed Israel’s first king by the Prophet Samuel. The lives of the three become intertwined. Later, Saul’s relationship with Samuel becomes, at times, contentious.
Leaving behind a happy childhood, Jonathan assumes responsibility as an army commander, confronts Israel’s enemies, and gains admiration as a national hero.
The King becomes indecisive and defensive, then jealous and paranoid, puzzling his son. Jonathan makes a covenant of loyalty with David, the giant slayer. Saul sees David as a threat to his kingship and organizes endless manhunts for him. Malki-Shua, the second son, sides with his father, creating tension between the two brothers. Jonathan seeks to protect David.
Jonathan gradually understands the cause of his father’s state of mind. Faced with conflicting loyalties and dysfunctional relationships, Jonathan’s faith in God gives him strength and courage to face life.
