One was raised in the place of a king and knew the luxuries which are associated with that social status. The other was an uneducated youth who rose from obscurity and threatened to usurp the throne. Their names: David and Jonathan.

You can read about them in the Old Testament book of First Samuel. Of David, Gary Inrig writes, "David was ignored by his father and disliked by his brothers. He was the runt of the litter, who lived with the bitterness of rejection and neglect. In spite of this, David had a relationship with the Lord which sustained him in his darkest hours.
