David did not understand why Saul was so obsessed with killing him. Looking at himself he could see nothing that he had done wrong. Sometimes we attract trouble because of our own stupidity or even sinfulness, but at others there is no good reason why we are being attacked. Jonathan’s response is that while Saul is out to kill David, he won’t succeed. The reason he gives is that Jonathan knows all that his father does, so he will be able to thwart Saul’s plans.

David was not so sure. David knew that Saul knew that Jonathan was on David’s side, so he would not necessarily let Jonathan know everything. David knew that he was in a very precarious position. Jonathan seems to begin to appreciate the situation better, and responds by saying he will do whatever David wants him to do.
