All Christians revere King David as a wise and good King of Israel. But do Christians you realize that King David was, as were most or all of the Prophets of Israel, bisexual, the way that was designed and ordained by God? Rather than me tell you what the Holy Spirit says the scriptures say, read them for yourself! Open the Bible and read all the relevant surrounding scripture. Don't quit there! You have done only half of the minimum. The next step is to humble yourself by getting on your knees -- be thankful that Christians don't have to prostrate themselves -- and ask for wisdom and the truth to be manifested to you!

1 Samuel 18:1-4

 1 ¶ And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.

 2 And Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father's house.

3 Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.

4 And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that [was] upon him, and gave it to David, and his garments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.

1 Samuel 19:2

2 But Jonathan Saul's son delighted much in David: and Jonathan told David, saying, Saul my father seeketh to kill thee: now therefore, I pray thee, take heed to thyself until the morning, and abide in a secret [place], and hide thyself:

----------------------------------------

1 Samuel 20:3-4

 3 And David sware (sic) moreover, and said, Thy father certainly knoweth (sic) that I have found grace in thine eyes; and he saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved: but truly [as] the LORD liveth, and [as] thy soul liveth, [there is] but a step between me and death.

 4 Then said Jonathan unto David, Whatsoever thy soul desireth (sic), I will even do [it] for thee.

ANYTHING?
----------------------------------------

1 Samuel 20:16-17

 16 So Jonathan made [a covenant] with the house of David, [saying], Let the LORD even require [it] at the hand of David's enemies.

 17 And Jonathan caused David to swear again, because he loved him: for he loved him as he loved his own soul.

----------------------------------------

1 Samuel 20:27-30

 27 And it came to pass on the morrow, [which was] the second [day] of the month, that David's place was empty: and Saul said unto Jonathan his son, Wherefore cometh (sic) not the son of Jesse to meat, neither yesterday, nor to day?

 28 And Jonathan answered Saul, David earnestly asked [leave] of me [to go] to Bethlehem:

 30 Then Saul's anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said unto him, Thou son of the perverse rebellious [woman], do not I know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thine own confusion, and unto the confusion of thy mother's nakedness?

----------------------------------------

1 Samuel 20:41-42

41 [And] as soon as the lad was gone, David arose out of [a place] toward the south, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times: and they kissed one another, and wept one with another, until David exceeded.

42 And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, forasmuch as we have sworn both of us in the name of the LORD, saying, The LORD be between me and thee, [marriage covenant] and between my seed and thy seed for ever. And he arose and departed: and Jonathan went into the city.

2 Samuel 1:26

26 I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan: very pleasant hast thou been unto me: thy love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women.
 

THE KEY FACTS:

1 Samuel 18:1 ¶ And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.

 2 And Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father's house.

3 Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.

4 And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that [was] upon him, and gave it to David, and his garments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle. [This was a very serious gesture, a commitment in their day!]

1 Samuel 20:4 Then said Jonathan unto David, Whatsoever thy soul desireth (sic), I will even do [it] for thee.

[Sounds like Jonathan loved David more than just as a friend or sibling!]

1 Samuel 20:17 And Jonathan caused David to swear again, because he loved him: for he loved him as he loved his own soul.

[Does this not remind you of two homosexual lovers or spouses?]

1 Samuel 20:30 Then Saul's anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said unto him, Thou son of the perverse rebellious [woman], do not I know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thine own confusion, and unto the confusion of thy mother's nakedness?

[I don't know how many of your friends and/or sibling you could say this to and not refer to the act of your condemnation as being sex?]

1 Samuel 20:41 [And] as soon as the lad was gone, David arose out of [a place] toward the south, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times: and they kissed one another, and wept one with another, until David exceeded.

[True. today some friends, some parents and sibling kiss and weep on with another exceedingly but you would climb on your pusillanimous, religious bandwagon and label these perverted also!]

2 Samuel 1:26 "...thy love to me was wonderful, PASSING THE LOVE OF WOMEN.”

I've had known some females as just friends but this is not what David is saying.

Was Jonathan and David's love platonic or even as siblings? I don't know how your family responds to each other and I have known of a few families in which incest was rampant between brothers, sisters, brothers and sisters, father and brothers, father and sisters, mother and brothers and mother and sisters but I doubt this is what the Prophet Samuel is referring to.

Contrary to popular opinion of Professional Faith Merchants, there is no prohibition in 613 Laws of the Mosaic Law nor even the ten commandments against homosexuality.
