And David went out whithersoever Saul sent him, and behaved himself wisely: and Saul set him over the men of war, and he was accepted in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul's servants.

Verse 5 is found in chapter 18 of 1 Samuel. After the victory, Jonathan establishes a covenant of friendship with David and gives him elements of his own clothing and weapons. The action expresses deep identification with David and anticipates Jonathan’s later willingness to protect him. At the same time, Saul begins to feel jealous when the women celebrate David’s victories. The same victory produces opposite responses within the royal household: friendship and recognition in Jonathan, fear and hostility in Saul.
