Jonathan loved David 'as his own soul'. He stripped off his royal robe and gave it to David—symbolically transferring his right to the throne. Spoken by Jonathan (Action) to David.

Jonathan was the heir. David was the threat. Logic said 'Kill David'. Love said 'Covenant with him'. Torah connection: Leviticus 19:18 (Love neighbour as self). The Pharisaic distortion: Betrayal of friends (Judas).

Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul. Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was on him, and gave it to David, and his clothing, even including his sword, his bow, and his sash.
