How could a friendship form so quickly? The answer has to do with the basis for friendship. Consider some background. Jonathan was living through a difficult time. His father, Saul, had been changing over the years, and ever for the worse. Once a humble obedient man of faith, Saul had become an arrogant, disobedient king. - 1 SAMUEL 15:17-19, 26.
The changes in Saul must have troubled Jonathan deeply, for he was close to his father. (1 Samuel 20:2) Jonathan likely wondered what harm Saul could bring on Jehovah's chosen nations. Might the king's disobedience lead his subjects astray and cost them Jehovah's favor? Without a doubt, those were hard times for a man of faith like Jonathan.
