1 Samuel 14:11-15

11So the two of themH8147 showed themselvesH1540 toH413 the outpostH4673 of the PhilistinesH6430, who exclaimedH559, “LookH2009, the HebrewsH5680 are coming outH3318 ofH4480 the holesH2356 in whichH834 they were hidingH2244H8033!”

12So the menH582 of the outpostH4675 called outH6030 to JonathanH3129 and his armor-bearerH5375H3627, “Come on upH5927H413, and we will teachH3045 you a lessonH1697!”

“FollowH5927 meH310,” JonathanH3129H413 toldH559 his armor-bearerH5375H3627, “forH3588 the LORDH3068 has delivered themH5414 into the handH3027 of IsraelH3478.”

13So JonathanH3129H5921 climbed upH5927 on his handsH3027H5921 and feetH7272, with his armor-bearerH5375H3627 behind himH310. And the Philistines fellH5307 beforeH6440 JonathanH3129, and his armor-bearerH5375H3627 followedH310 and finished them offH4191. 14In that firstH7223 assaultH4347, JonathanH3129 and his armor-bearerH5375H3627 struck downH5221 about twentyH6242 menH376 in about halfH2677 an acreH4618H67761 of landH7704.

15Then panicH2731 struckH1961 the Philistines in the campH4264, in the fieldH7704, and among allH3605 the peopleH5971. Even those in the outpostsH4673 and raiding partiesH7843 trembledH2729. IndeedH1571H1992, the earthH776 quakedH7264, and panicH2731 spreadH1961 from GodH430.2
