Contextual Overview
9 Jonathan said, "Far be it from you! If I knew that my father has decided to do something bad to you, would I not tell you about it?" 10 Then David said to Jonathan, "Who will tell me if your father is angry when he answers you?" 11 Jonathan said to David, "Come, let us go out into the field." So both of them went out into the field. 12 Jonathan said to David, "May the Lord, the God of Israel, see it. I will speak with my father, about this time tomorrow, or the third day. If he feels good about David, will I not send news to you and let you know it? 13 But if my father wants to hurt you, may the Lord do the same to Jonathan and even more, if I do not let you know and send you away, so you may be safe. May the Lord be with you as He has been with my father. 14 If I am still alive, show me the faithful love of the Lord, that I may not die. 15 Do not stop being faithful to my house forever, not even when the Lord destroys from the earth all who hate David. 16 Do not let the name of Jonathan be lost from the family of David. And may the Lord punish those who hate you." 17 Jonathan made David promise again, by his love for him. For he loved him as he loved his own life. 18 Then Jonathan said to David, "Tomorrow is the new moon. You will be missed because your seat will be empty.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Jonathan caused David to swear again,.... Or Jonathan added to make David swears u; having sworn himself to make a covenant of friendship with David and his family, he moved and insisted on it, that David should swear to keep covenant with him, and his family:
because he loved him; it was not so much for the good and safety of his offspring that he made this motion, and was so desirous of renewing and enlarging his covenant with David, as it was his strong love and affection for him; being on that account desirous that there might be the strictest friendship imaginable retained between the two families; or he made him swear by his love to him, as some understand it, which is not so likely; the former sense is better, for he himself sware by the Lord, 1 Samuel 20:12;
for he loved him as his own soul; or "with the love of his soul" w; with the most cordial affection, with a truly hearty and sincere love, see 1 Samuel 18:1.
