1 Samuel 14:1-18

1Now it came to passH5674 one dayH3117 that JonathanH3129 the sonH1121 of SaulH7586 saidH559 to the youngH5288 manH5288 that boreH5375 his armour, Come and let us go over to the Philistines' garrisonH4673 which is on the otherH5676 sideH5676. But he did not tellH5046 his fatherH1.

2And SaulH7586 abode at the extreme endH7097 of GibeahH1390 under the pomegranate-tree which [was] in MigronH4051; and the peopleH5971 that were with him were about sixH8337 hundredH3967 menH376.

3(And AhijahH281 the sonH1121 of AhitubH285, Ichabod's brotherH251, the sonH1121 of PhinehasH6372, the sonH1121 of EliH5941, Jehovah's priestH3548 in ShilohH7887, wore the ephodH646.) And the peopleH5971 did not knowH3045 that JonathanH3129 was goneH1980.

4Now between the passesH5674 by which JonathanH3129 soughtH1245 to go over to the Philistines' garrisonH4673 there was a sharp rockH5553 on the oneH259 sideH5676 and a sharp rockH5553 on the other sideH5676; and the nameH8034 of the oneH259 [was] Bozez, and the nameH8034 of the other Seneh.

5The oneH259 crag [formed] a pillar on the northH6828 oppositeH4136 to Michmash, and the other on the southH5045 oppositeH4136 to GebaH1387.

6And JonathanH3083 saidH559 to the youngH5288 manH5288 that boreH5375 his armour, Come, and let us go over to the garrisonH4673 of these uncircumcisedH6189: perhapsH194 Jehovah will work for us; for there is no restraint to Jehovah to saveH3467 by manyH7227 or by fewH4592.

7And his armour-bearer saidH559 to him, Do all that is in thy heartH3824; turnH5186 thee; behold, I am with thee according to thy heartH3824.

8Then saidH559 JonathanH3083, Behold, we will passH5674 over to the menH376, and we will shew ourselves to them.

9If they sayH559 thusH3541 to us, StandH5975 stillH5975 until we comeH5927 to you, then we will stay in our placeH8478, and will not goH5927 up to them.

10And if they sayH559 thusH3541, ComeH5927 up to us, then we will goH5927 up; for Jehovah has givenH5414 them into our handH3027; and this shall be the signH226 to us.

11And both of them shewed themselves to the garrisonH4673 of the PhilistinesH6430; and the PhilistinesH6430 saidH559, Behold, the HebrewsH5680 comeH3318 forthH3318 out of the holesH2356 whereH834 they had hidH2244 themselves.

12And the menH376 of the garrison answered JonathanH3129 and his armour-bearer and saidH559, ComeH5927 up to us, and we will shew you something. And JonathanH3129 saidH559 to his armour-bearer, ComeH5927 up after me; for Jehovah has delivered them into the handH3027 of IsraelH3478.

13And JonathanH3129 climbed up upon his handsH3027 and upon his feetH7272, and his armour-bearer after him; and they fellH5307 before JonathanH3129; and his armour-bearer slew after him.

14And that firstH7223 slaughterH4347 which JonathanH3129 and his armour-bearer wrought wasH1961 about twentyH6242 menH376, as it were on the half-furrow of an acre of landH7704.

15And there wasH1961 tremblingH2729 in the campH4264, in the fieldH7704, and among all the peopleH5971; the garrisonH4673, and the ravagers, they alsoH1571 trembledH7264, and the earthH776 quakedH7264; for it wasH1961 a tremblingH2729 [from] 1GodH430.

16And the watchmenH6822 of SaulH7586 in GibeahH1390 of BenjaminH1144 lookedH7200, and behold, the multitudeH1995 meltedH4127 awayH4127, and they went on slaying oneH7200 another.

17Then saidH559 SaulH7586 to the peopleH5971 that were with him, Muster now, and seeH7200 who is goneH1980 from us. And they musteredH6485, and behold, JonathanH3129 and his armour-bearer were not there.

18And SaulH7586 saidH559 to AhijahH281, BringH5066 hither the arkH727 of 2GodH430. For the arkH727 of 3GodH430 wasH1961 at that time with the children of IsraelH3478.
