1 Samuel 14:1-18

1Now the dayH3117 cameH1961 that JonathanH3083, the sonH1121 of SaulH7586, saidH559 to the youngH5288 manH5288 who was carryingH5375 his armorH3627, “ComeH1980 and let us crossH5674 overH5674 to the Philistines’H6430 garrisonH4673 that is on the otherH5676 sideH5676.” But he did not tellH5046 his fatherH1. 2SaulH7586 was stayingH3427 in the outskirtsH7097 of 1GibeahH1390 underH8478 the pomegranateH7416 treeH7416 whichH834 is in 2MigronH4051. And the peopleH5971 whoH834 were with him were 3about sixH8337 hundredH3967 menH376, 3and AhijahH281, the 4sonH1121 of AhitubH285, 5Ichabod’sH350 brotherH251, the sonH1121 of PhinehasH6372, the sonH1121 of EliH5941, the priestH3548 of the LordH3068 at 6ShilohH7887, 7was 8wearingH5375 an ephodH646. And the peopleH5971 did not knowH3045 that JonathanH3083 had goneH1980. 49BetweenH996 the passesH4569 by whichH834 JonathanH3083 soughtH1245 to crossH5674 overH5674 to the Philistines’H6430 garrisonH4673, there was a sharpH8127 cragH5553 on the oneH2088 sideH5676 and a sharpH8127 cragH5553 on the otherH2088 sideH5676, and the nameH8034 of the oneH259 was BozezH949, and the nameH8034 of the otherH259 SenehH5573. 5The oneH259 cragH8127 roseH4690 on the northH6828 oppositeH4136 MichmashH4363, and the otherH259 on the southH5045 oppositeH4136 GebaH1387.

6Then JonathanH3083 saidH559 to the youngH5288 manH5288 who was carryingH5375 his armorH3627, “ComeH1980 and let us crossH5674 overH5674 to the garrisonH4673 of 10theseH428 uncircumcisedH6189; perhapsH194 the LordH3068 will workH6213 for us, for 11the LordH3068 is not restrainedH4622 to saveH3467 by manyH7227 orH176 by fewH4592.” 7His armorH3627 bearerH5375 saidH559 to him, “DoH6213 allH3605 that is in your heartH3824; turnH5186 yourself, and hereH2009 I am with you according to your 12desireH3824.” 8Then JonathanH3083 saidH559, “13BeholdH2009, we will crossH5674 overH5674 to the menH376 and revealH1540 ourselves to them. 9IfH518 they 14sayH559 to us, ‘WaitH1826 untilH5704 we comeH5060 to you’; then we will standH5975 in our placeH8478 and not goH5927 up to them. 10But ifH518 they 15sayH559, ‘ComeH5927 up to us,’ then we will goH5927 up, for the LordH3068 has givenH5414 them into our handsH3027; and 16thisH2088 shall be the signH226 to us.” 11When bothH8147 of them revealedH1540 themselves to the garrisonH4673 of the PhilistinesH6430, the PhilistinesH6430 saidH559, “BeholdH2009, 17HebrewsH5680 are comingH3318 out of the holesH2356 whereH834H8033 they have hiddenH2244 themselves.” 12So the menH376 of the garrisonH4673 18hailedH6030 JonathanH3083 and his armorH3627 bearerH5375 and saidH559, “ComeH5927 up to us and 19we will tellH3045 you somethingH1697.” And JonathanH3083 saidH559 to his armorH3627 bearerH5375, “ComeH5927 up afterH310 me, for 20the LordH3068 has givenH5414 them into the handsH3027 of IsraelH3478.” 13Then JonathanH3083 climbedH5927 up on his handsH3027 and feetH7272, with his armorH3627 bearerH5375 behindH310 him; and they fellH5307 beforeH6440 JonathanH3083, and his armorH3627 bearerH5375 putH4191 some to deathH4191 afterH310 him. 14That firstH7223 slaughterH4347 whichH834 JonathanH3083 and his armorH3627 bearerH5375 madeH5221 was about twentyH6242 menH376 within about halfH2677 a furrowH4618 in an acreH6776 of landH7704. 15And there was a tremblingH2731 in the campH4264, in the fieldH7704, and among allH3605 the peopleH5971. EvenH1571 the garrisonH4673 and 21the raidersH7843 trembledH2729, and 22the earthH776 quakedH7264 so 23that it becameH1961 a 24greatH430 tremblingH2731.

16Now Saul’sH7586 watchmenH6822 in GibeahH1390 of BenjaminH1144 lookedH7200, and beholdH2009, the multitudeH1995 meltedH4127 awayH4127; and they wentH1980 hereH1988 and there. 17SaulH7586 saidH559 to the peopleH5971 whoH834 were with him, “25NumberH6485 nowH4994 and seeH7200 whoH4310 has goneH1980 from us.” And when they had 26numberedH6485, beholdH2009, JonathanH3083 and his armorH3627 bearerH5375 were not there. 18Then SaulH7586 saidH559 to AhijahH281, “27BringH5066 the arkH727 of GodH430 hereH5066.” For the arkH727 of GodH430 was at that timeH3117 with the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478.
