Context of 1 Samuel 14:7
5One cliff stood like a pillar on the north facing Michmash, the other stood south facing Geba. 6Jonathan said to his armorbearer, “Let’s go to the military post of these uncircumcised people. Maybe the Lord will act on our behalf. The Lord can win a victory with a few men as well as with many.” His armorbearer answered him, “Do whatever you have in mind. Go ahead! I agree with you.” 8Jonathan continued, “Listen, we’ll cross over to the Philistines and show ourselves to them. 9If they say to us, ‘Stay where you are until we come to you,’ then we’ll stay where we are and not go up to them.
