This print pairs the biblical friendship of Jonathan and David with the phrase "In God We Trust," linking a story of loyalty from the books of Samuel with the American national motto. In 1 Samuel, Jonathan, the son of King Saul, makes a covenant with the young David and gives him his robe and armor, a gesture the text presents as a bond of deep and lasting friendship. The motto first appeared on U.S. coins in 1864 and was adopted as the national motto in 1956. Devotional prints of that era often combined scripture with patriotic language, so the image reflects how faith and civic identity were frequently shown together.
