1 Samuel 18:2

God's Word

(From that day on Saul kept David ⌞as his servant⌟ and didn’t let him go back to his family.)

See the chapter Copy

David went back and forth from Saul’s camp to Bethlehem, where he tended his father’s flock.

Jonathan told David all of this. Then Jonathan took David to Saul. So David was returned to his former status in Saul’s court.
