I enjoy studying the lives of men and women of the Bible because they allow me to envision the application of Scripture (or the lack of it).  First Corinthians 10:1-12 is a reminder that every event recorded in Scripture was written for “our instruction”—so it seems reasonable that we would look to biblical friendships as a guide for ours.  One of the classic descriptions of friendship recorded in Scripture is that of Jonathan and David (1 Sam. 18:1-4, 19, 20, 23:16, 2 Sam. 1:17).  The qualities of their relationship provide a wonderful role model for the Everyday Homemaker.
