Jonathan |
Christ |
|
" Wrought this great salvation" (14:45) |
These words are alluded to in Heb.2:3 concerning Christ (and possibly elsewhere) |
|
" Jonathan said...Go in peace" (20:42) |
Lk.7:50; 8:48 |
|
Stripped off his robes |
Mt.27:28 cp. Gen.37:23 |
|
" Whatsoever thy soul desireth, I will even do it for thee" (20:4) |
This is the spirit of Christ's words to us (Jn.15:7). |
|
" My father will do nothing, great or small, but that he will shew it me" (20:2) |
Ditto (Jn.15:15) |
|
Wounded by archers, although he still slew many with his bow (2 Sam.1:22) |
The Messianic Gen.49:23,24 seems to also point forward to Jonathan's death: " The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him...but his bow abode in strength" . |
|
The Hebrew word used to describe Jonathan's death in 2 Sam.1:19,22,25 means 'to slay by piercing to death'. |
Cp. Christ's crucifixion. |
