David and Jonathon

The story between David and Jonathon was a wonderful gem for me to find in the Bible. It's located in Samuel 1 and Samuel 2. What I find interesting about this story is the homosexual undertones that it has to it. It says that "David loved Jonathon more than any other woman". And when Jonathon warns David of his father and tells David he must leave it states that they kiss and they both wept, though "David wept the more". What I find interesting is that I have never heard anything about this story prior to reading it which leads me to believe it is the church that does not teach this. However, the church does preach Leviticus "A man shall not lay with a man as he would a woman it is an abomination". Sounds to me like people only take from the Bible what THEY feel is right.
