People. David! David!

Jonathan. Never before in Israel rose beauty
Up to this glory!

David. Jonathan, nay——

Jonathan. Never!

(Looses his robe and girdle.)

Therefore I pour him splendour passionate.
In gold and purple, this my own, I clothe him.
David, my brother!

Saul (livid). Brother!

Ahinoam. Saul?

Saul. Thou fool!

Jonathan. Father?
