What does it mean that Jonathan stripped himself of his robe for David?

Answered in 1 source

This act symbolizes Christ's humility in His incarnation and His offering of righteousness to believers.

Jonathan's act of stripping off his royal robe and giving it to David serves as a powerful picture of how Christ humbled Himself and laid aside His glory to take on human nature. In Matthew 6:31-33, Christ assures that He provides our spiritual needs, equating the robe of Jonathan to the righteousness that believers receive through faith in Christ. This demonstrates the themes of sacrifice and the transformative grace bestowed upon us through our union with Him.
