The message of the arrows

Marcia Byers Helmholz

Jonathan was the son of Saul, who was King of Israel. David was the son of Jesse, a farmer in Bethlehem. A book of the Bible called First Samuel tells their story.

After David killed the giant Goliath, King Saul decided David should serve him instead of going home. David and Jonathan became close friends.
