In this episode, the epic and tragic struggle between David and Shaul Inside (Saul) for the kingship over Israel comes to its dramatic denouement, as does the bosom friendship between David and Yehonasan (Jonathan). It is in this very climax that the greatness of the old and new king come to the fore. The Kings of Israel, through the eyes of the tradition that remembers them.
