Behind every hero is an unsung protector. Likewise, for every great leader there is a mentor and friend. He is the wind for that leader's sails and the navigator for his course. Such was Jonathan for David. Jonathan had everything going for him. He was the eldest son of the first king of Israel. He had wealth and power.
