1 Samuel 14:4-13 ▼

4 Between the passes by which Jonathan sought to cross over to the Philistines' garrison, there was a sharp crag on the one side and a sharp crag on the other side, and the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.

5 The one crag rose on the north opposite Michmash, and the other on the south opposite Geba.

6 Then Jonathan said to the young man who was carrying his armor, |Come and let us cross over to the garrison of these uncircumcised; perhaps the LORD will work for us, for the LORD is not restrained to save by many or by few.|

7 His armor bearer said to him, |Do all that is in your heart; turn yourself, [and] here I am with you according to your desire.|

8 Then Jonathan said, |Behold, we will cross over to the men and reveal ourselves to them.

9 |If they say to us, 'Wait until we come to you'; then we will stand in our place and not go up to them.

10 |But if they say, 'Come up to us,' then we will go up, for the LORD has given them into our hands; and this shall be the sign to us.|

11 When both of them revealed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines, the Philistines said, |Behold, Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they have hidden themselves.|

12 So the men of the garrison hailed Jonathan and his armor bearer and said, |Come up to us and we will tell you something.| And Jonathan said to his armor bearer, |Come up after me, for the LORD has given them into the hands of Israel.|

13 Then Jonathan climbed up on his hands and feet, with his armor bearer behind him; and they fell before Jonathan, and his armor bearer put some to death after him.
