Another episode of Verse: Where Broadway and Torah Meeet, we explore the topic of the friendship between Jonathan and David, paired with "For Good" from Wicked.

  1. Notice how many words there are for "friend" In fact, the modern word for "friend", chaver, wasn't used until the Pirke Avot text. That was the first time it was introduced. The word "rayecha" or "ray-ey" doesn't necessarily mean friend. It could be translated as just some person, or a fellow Israelite, or a neighbor. In the case of Jonathan and David, the word is based on the verb "ahav" - love; in one case, however, David is called "object" (1 Sam 19:1)
  2. ויקרא י״ט:י״ח
    (יח) לֹֽא־תִקֹּ֤ם וְלֹֽא־תִטֹּר֙ אֶת־בְּנֵ֣י עַמֶּ֔ךָ וְאָֽהַבְתָּ֥ לְרֵעֲךָ֖ כָּמ֑וֹךָ אֲנִ֖י יְהֹוָֽה׃
    Leviticus 19:18
    (18) You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against members of your people. Love your fellow [Israelite] as yourself: I am יהוה.

    I Samuel 18:1-2
    (1) When [David] finished speaking with Saul, Jonathan’s soul became bound up with the soul of David; Jonathan loved David as himself. (2) Saul took him [into his service] that day and would not let him return to his father’s house.—
  4. שמואל א י״ט:א׳
    (א) וַיְדַבֵּ֣ר שָׁא֗וּל אֶל־יוֹנָתָ֤ן בְּנוֹ֙ וְאֶל־כׇּל־עֲבָדָ֔יו לְהָמִ֖ית אֶת־דָּוִ֑ד וִיהֽוֹנָתָן֙ בֶּן־שָׁא֔וּל חָפֵ֥ץ בְּדָוִ֖ד מְאֹֽד׃
    I Samuel 19:1

  6. תהילים ל״ח:י״ב
    (יב) אֹֽהֲבַ֨י ׀ וְרֵעַ֗י מִנֶּ֣גֶד נִגְעִ֣י יַעֲמֹ֑דוּ וּ֝קְרוֹבַ֗י מֵרָחֹ֥ק עָמָֽדוּ׃
    Psalms 38:12
    (12) My friends and companions stand back from my affliction;my kinsmen stand far off.
  7. איוב ב׳:י״א
    (יא) וַֽיִּשְׁמְע֞וּ שְׁלֹ֣שֶׁת ׀ רֵעֵ֣י אִיּ֗וֹב אֵ֣ת כׇּל־הָרָעָ֣ה הַזֹּאת֮ הַבָּ֣אָה עָלָיו֒ וַיָּבֹ֙אוּ֙ אִ֣ישׁ מִמְּקֹמ֔וֹ אֱלִיפַ֤ז הַתֵּֽימָנִי֙ וּבִלְדַּ֣ד הַשּׁוּחִ֔י וְצוֹפַ֖ר הַנַּֽעֲמָתִ֑י וַיִּוָּעֲד֣וּ יַחְדָּ֔ו לָב֥וֹא לָנֽוּד־ל֖וֹ וּֽלְנַחֲמֽוֹ׃

  10. GLINDA
    I've heard it said That people come into our lives for a reason Bringing something we must learn
    And we are led To those who help us most to grow
    If we let them And we help them in return
    Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
    But I know I'm who I am today Because I knew you:
    Like a comet pulled from orbit As it passes a sun
    Like a stream that meets a boulder Halfway through the wood
    Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
    But because I knew you I have been changed for good
