David and Jonathan.


"The soul of Jonathan was bound to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul....."
".....Then Jonathan made a covenant with David, because he loved him as his own soul.  Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that he was wearing, and gave it to David, and his armor, and even his sword and his bow and his belt."  1 Samuel 18:1-4 (NRSV)

"Jonathan lies slain upon your high places, I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan; greatly beloved were you to me, your love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women."  2 Samuel 1:25,26 (NRSV)
