Exegesis
The restrictive particle raq {רַק | raq} ‘only’ introduces the contrastive subject phrase, which comprises the coordinated proper names yə-hō-na-Tān {יְהֹונָתָן | yə-hō-na-Tān} and dā-wid {דָּוִד | dā-wid}, governed by the Qal perfect yā-ḏə-ʿū {יָדְעוּ | yā-ḏə-ʿū} ‘they knew’.
Root and etymology
d-w-ddalet–vav–dalet
“beloved”
In context — 1 Samuel 20:39
