However, the name Jonathan is transliterated in the Greek Septuagint as Ἰωνάθαν (Iōnathan). Usage: Jehonathan is a proper noun used as a masculine personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It is often rendered as Jonathan in English translations. Context: Jehonathan, commonly known as Jonathan, is a significant biblical figure, primarily recognized as the son of King Saul and a close friend of David. His story is predominantly found in the books of 1 Samuel and 2 Samuel. Jehonathan is depicted as a noble and loyal character, known for his deep friendship with David, which is marked by a covenant of mutual support and loyalty (1 Samuel 18:1-4). Despite his father Saul's animosity towards David, Jehonathan remains steadfast in his support for David, even at great personal risk (1 Samuel 19:1-7; 20:1-42). His loyalty to David is further demonstrated when he helps David escape from Saul's attempts to kill him. Jehonathan's life tragically ends in battle alongside his father Saul on Mount Gilboa (1 Samuel 31:2). His legacy is remembered for his faithfulness, courage, and the profound bond he shared with David, which is celebrated in David's lament (2 Samuel 1:25-26).
