1 Samuel 14:1-23

1Now the dayH3117 cameH1961 that JonathanH3083, the sonH1121 of SaulH7586, saidH559 to the youngH5288 manH5288 who was carryingH5375 his armorH3627, “ComeH1980, and let’s crossH5674 overH5674 to the Philistines’H6430 garrisonH4673 that is on the otherH1975 sideH5676.” But he did not tellH5046 his fatherH1. 2SaulH7586 was stayingH3427 on the outskirtsH7097 of 1GibeahH1390 underH8478 the pomegranateH7416 treeH7416 that is in 2MigronH4051. And the peopleH5971 whoH834 were with him numbered 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. 4Now 9betweenH996 the gorgesH4569 by whichH834 JonathanH3083 soughtH1245 to crossH5674 overH5674 to the Philistines’H6430 garrisonH4673 there was a rockyH5553 cragH8127 on the oneH2088 sideH5676, and a rockyH5553 cragH8127 on the otherH2088 sideH5676; and the nameH8034 of the oneH259 was BozezH949, and the nameH8034 of the otherH259, SenehH5573. 5The oneH259 cragH8127 rose 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’s crossH5674 overH5674 to the garrisonH4673 of 10theseH428 uncircumcisedH6189 men; perhapsH194 the LordH3068 will workH6213 for us, becauseH3588 11the LordH3068 is not limitedH4622 to savingH3467 by manyH7227 orH176 by fewH4592!” 7His armorH3627 bearerH5375 saidH559 to him, “DoH6213 everythingH3605 that is in your heartH3824; turnH5186 yourself to it, and hereH2009 I am with you, as your heartH3824 desires.” 8Then JonathanH3083 saidH559, “12BeholdH2009, we are going to crossH5674 overH5674 to the menH376 and revealH1540 ourselves to them. 9IfH518 they 13sayH559 to us, ‘WaitH1826 untilH5704 we comeH5060 to you’; then we will standH5975 inH8478 our placeH8478 and not goH5927 upH5927 to them. 10But ifH518 they 14sayH559, ‘ComeH5927 upH5927 to us,’ then we will goH5927 upH5927, for the LordH3068 has handedH5414H3027 them overH5414 to us; and 15thisH2088 shall be the signH226 to us.” 11When the twoH8147 of them revealedH1540 themselves to the garrisonH4673 of the PhilistinesH6430, the PhilistinesH6430 saidH559, “BeholdH2009, 16HebrewsH5680 are comingH3318 outH3318 of the holesH2356 whereH834H8033 they have keptH2244 themselves hiddenH2244.” 12So the menH376 of the garrisonH4673 respondedH6030 to JonathanH3083 and his armorH3627 bearerH5375 and saidH559, “ComeH5927 upH5927 to us and 17we will informH3045 you of somethingH1697.” And JonathanH3083 saidH559 to his armorH3627 bearerH5375, “ComeH5927 upH5927 afterH310 me, for 18the LordH3068 has handedH5414H3027 them overH5414 to IsraelH3478.” 13Then JonathanH3083 climbedH5927 upH5927 on his handsH3027 and feetH7272, with his armorH3627 bearerH5375 behindH310 him; and the men fellH5307 beforeH6440 JonathanH3083, and his armorH3627 bearerH5375 putH4191 some toH4191 deathH4191 afterH310 him. 14Now that firstH7223 slaughterH4347 whichH834 JonathanH3083 and his armorH3627 bearerH5375 inflictedH5221 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 19the raidersH4889 trembledH2729, and 20the earthH776 quakedH7264 so 21that it becameH1961 a 22greatH430 tremblingH2731.

16Now Saul’sH7586 watchmenH6822 in GibeahH1390 of BenjaminH1144 lookedH7200, and beholdH2009, the multitudeH1995 dissolvedH4127; they wentH1980 hereH1988 and there. 17So SaulH7586 saidH559 to the peopleH5971 whoH834 were with him, “LookH6485 carefullyH6485 nowH4994 and seeH7200 whoH4310 has leftH1980H4480 us.” And when they had lookedH6485, beholdH2009, JonathanH3083 and his armorH3627 bearerH5375 were not there. 18Then SaulH7586 saidH559 to AhijahH281, “23BringH5066 the arkH727 of GodH430 hereH5066.” For at that timeH3117 the arkH727 of GodH430 was with the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478. 1924WhileH5704 SaulH7586 talkedH1696 to the priestH3548, the commotionH1995 in the campH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430 continuedH1980 and increasedH7227; so SaulH7586 saidH559 to the priestH3548, “WithdrawH622 your handH3027.” 20Then SaulH7586 and allH3605 the peopleH5971 whoH834 were with him ralliedH2199 and cameH935 to the battleH4421; and beholdH2009, 25everyH376 man’s swordH2719 was against his fellowH7453 Philistine, and there was veryH3966 greatH1419 confusionH4103. 21Now the HebrewsH5680 who were with the PhilistinesH6430 previouslyH865H8032, whoH834 wentH5927 upH5927 with them allH5439 aroundH5439 in the campH4264, even 26they alsoH1571 returned to be with the IsraelitesH3478 whoH834 were with SaulH7586 and JonathanH3083. 22When allH3605 the 27menH376 of IsraelH3478 who had keptH2244 themselves hiddenH2244 in the hillH2022 countryH2022 of EphraimH669 heardH8085 that the PhilistinesH6430 had fledH5127, they alsoH1571 closelyH1692 pursuedH1692 them in the battleH4421. 23So 28the LordH3068 savedH3467 IsraelH3478 that dayH3117, and the battleH4421 29spreadH5674 beyondH5674 30Beth-avenH1007.
