King Saul’s son, heir to the throne, Jonathan
becomes close friends with David. They are
bound together in friendship.

Jonathan and David went far beyond personal affinity and
camaraderie. Scripture records that "the soul of
Jonathan was knit to the soul of David", indicating an unusually close bond
between the two men.

Kindred SpiritsKindred SpiritsThis commitment was
formalized with a covenant in which David agreed to show
"kindness" to Jonathan's descendants. When he
became king, David followed through on this promise by honoring Jonathan's son,
Mephibosheth.

For his part, Jonathan showed amazing devotion to David by
thwarting the evil intentions of his father, Saul, on several occasions.
This loyalty was all the more remarkable given the fact that David
was to become king,

even though Jonathan would have inherited the throne if God
had not decided otherwise.David and Jonathan took their covenant seriously. Jonathan
remained loyal to David for the rest of his life,

and after David came into power he intentionally sought out a
descendant of Jonathan in order to fulfill his agreement. David's
faithfulness showed much about his character—and even saved
a man's life. (Word in Life notes)

superscription; but there are no indications by which we
can determine on what occasion it was written.

composed; and as that state of mind is not uncommon among those who are the professed
people of God, the psalm will be useful in all ages of the world.

Psalm 26 By David Psalm 26 By David
The state of mind is that in which there is deep solicitude in regard
to personal piety, or on the question whether the evidences of
our piety, are genuine, and are such as we may rely on as
warranting our hope of salvation.

Psalm 26 By David Psalm 26 By David
In this state of mind, and under this deep solicitude, the psalmist
appeals to God to search him, or to judge in his case; he then
recounts the evidences on which he relied as a ground for
concluding that he was truly a friend of God;
![Page 41: Apr 6 12 Psalms 25 26 34](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062307/554fd74eb4c90516478b49a5/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

Psalm 26 By DavidPsalm 26 By David
He was conscious of integrity or uprightness of intention, but he still

search his heart and try his reins - that He would examine the evidences
of his personal piety, and save him from delusion.
