Abstract :
This article presents a compelling discussion of the texts which S. Schroer and T. Staubli claim to show a homosexual relationship between David and Jonathan. Through the study of vocabulary and narrative the author points out weaknesses in their argumentation and shows that theirs is not the only, or the most plausible, interpretation.
