The name of the person, whom I'd like to meditate on, is Jonathan.

Such names aren’t well known

Jonathan is a beautiful name that we call our kids with; whether inside or outside Egypt.

Jonathan represents the virtue of loyalty that is very precious.

Jonathan was the elder son for King Saul.

As you know that Saul is the 1st king of the children of Israel

He was a result of the persistence of the people.

Samuel was a result of his mother's prayers; Hannah, mother of Samuel.

Saul was a result of the persistence of the people.

God answered the people saying that as long as they want a king, so they can have this one.

But Saul wasn't a king according to God's heart.
David, who was a young man and then became a king after Saul, was a result of Samuel' prayers.

Prayer results in good fruits (results); whether in breeding or education or service or problems.

Prayer results in good fruits (results)

"Jonathan" means "the Lord gave"

Actually, there are many persons that are mentioned in the Holy Bible with the name of "Jonathan"; they are about 20 names.

But the most famous one of them is the one whom we're going to talk about and meditate on.
