1 Samuel 20:35 | Matthew Henry's Commentary
And it came to pass in the morning, that Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little lad with him. — 1 Samuel 20:35
Source Coverage: 1 Samuel 20:35-42
The separation of two such faithful friends was grievous to both, but David's case was the more deplorable, for David was leaving all his comforts, even those of God's sanctuary. Christians need not sorrow, as men without hope; but being one with Christ, they are one with each other, and will meet in his presence ere long, to part no more; to meet where all tears shall be wiped from their eyes.
