Context of 1 Samuel 14:7

5The rock on the north side of the road was near Michmash. The rock on the south side was near Geba. 6Jonathan said to the young man who carried his armour, ‘Now we will go to the camp of those foreign people. Perhaps the Lord will help us to win the fight. He can win a battle whether there are many soldiers or only a few.’ The young man said, ‘You must do whatever you think is right. I will serve you faithfully all the way.’ 8Jonathan said, ‘Listen! We will go across to the Philistines now. We will let them see us. 9They may tell us to stop and wait for them to come to us. If they say that, we will stay here.
