To what covenant did Jonathan refer?

1 Samuel 20:16 (ESV)

16 And Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, “May the LORD take vengeance on David’s enemies.”

According to 1 Samuel 18:3, Jonathan made a covenant with David after David’s victory over Goliath. That same covenant is in view, now being strengthened and further expanded.1
