1 Samuel 14:6-16
6JonathanH3083 saidH559 toH413 the young manH5288 bearingH5375 his armorH3627, “ComeH1980, let us cross overH5674 toH413 the outpostH4673 of theseH428 uncircumcised menH6189. PerhapsH194 the LORDH3068 will workH6213 on our behalfH3588. NothingH369 can hinderH4622 the LORDH3068 from savingH3467, whether by manyH7227 orH176 by fewH4592.”
7His armor-bearerH5375H3627 repliedH559, “DoH6213 allH3605 that isH834 in your heartH3824. Go aheadH5186; I amH2005 with youH5973 heart and soulH3824.”
8“Very wellH2009,” saidH559 JonathanH3083, “we willH587 cross overH5674 towardH413 these menH582 and show ourselvesH1540 to themH413. 9IfH518H3541 they sayH559, ‘WaitH1826 untilH5704 we comeH5060 to youH413,’ then we will stayH5975 where we areH8478 and will notH3808 go upH5927 to themH413. 10But ifH518H3541 they sayH559, ‘Come on upH5927H5921,’ then we will go upH5927, becauseH3588 thisH2088 will be our signH226 that the LORDH3068 has delivered themH5414 into our handsH3027.”
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
16Now when Saul’sH7586 watchmenH6822 at GibeahH1390 in BenjaminH1144 lookedH7200 and sawH2009 the troopsH1995 melting awayH4127 and scatteringH1980 in every directionH1988,3
