1 Samuel 14:6-16
6Then Jonathan said to the young man who was carrying his armor, “Come and let us cross over to the garrison of 1these uncircumcised; perhaps the Lord will work for us, for 2the Lord is not restrained to save by many or by few.” 7His armor bearer said to him, “Do all that is in your heart; turn yourself, and here I am with you according to your 3desire.” 8Then Jonathan said, “4Behold, we will cross over to the men and reveal ourselves to them. 9If they 5say to us, ‘Wait until we come to you’; then we will stand in our place and not go up to them. 10But if they 6say, ‘Come up to us,’ then we will go up, for the Lord has given them into our hands; and 7this shall be the sign to us.” 11When both of them revealed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines, the Philistines said, “Behold, 8Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they have hidden themselves.” 12So the men of the garrison 9hailed Jonathan and his armor bearer and said, “Come up to us and 10we will tell you something.” And Jonathan said to his armor bearer, “Come up after me, for 11the Lord has given them into the hands of Israel.” 13Then Jonathan climbed up on his hands and feet, with his armor bearer behind him; and they fell before Jonathan, and his armor bearer put some to death after him. 14That first slaughter which Jonathan and his armor bearer made was about twenty men within about half a furrow in an acre of land. 15And there was a trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people. Even the garrison and 12the raiders trembled, and 13the earth quaked so 14that it became a 15great trembling.
16Now Saul’s watchmen in Gibeah of Benjamin looked, and behold, the multitude melted away; and they went here and there.
