1 Samuel 14:6-16

6Then JonathanH3083 saidH559 to the youngH5288 manH5288 who was carryingH5375 his armorH3627, “ComeH1980, and let’s crossH5674 overH5674 to the garrisonH4673 of 1theseH428 uncircumcisedH6189 men; perhapsH194 the LordH3068 will workH6213 for us, becauseH3588 2the 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, “3BeholdH2009, we are going to crossH5674 overH5674 to the menH376 and revealH1540 ourselves to them. 9IfH518 they 4sayH559 to us, ‘WaitH1826 untilH5704 we comeH5060 to you’; then we will standH5975 inH8478 our placeH8478 and not goH5927 upH5927 to them. 10But ifH518 they 5sayH559, ‘ComeH5927 upH5927 to us,’ then we will goH5927 upH5927, for the LordH3068 has handedH5414H3027 them overH5414 to us; and 6thisH2088 shall be the signH226 to us.” 11When the twoH8147 of them revealedH1540 themselves to the garrisonH4673 of the PhilistinesH6430, the PhilistinesH6430 saidH559, “BeholdH2009, 7HebrewsH5680 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 8we will informH3045 you of somethingH1697.” And JonathanH3083 saidH559 to his armorH3627 bearerH5375, “ComeH5927 upH5927 afterH310 me, for 9the 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 10the raidersH4889 trembledH2729, and 11the earthH776 quakedH7264 so 12that it becameH1961 a 13greatH430 tremblingH2731.

16Now Saul’sH7586 watchmenH6822 in GibeahH1390 of BenjaminH1144 lookedH7200, and beholdH2009, the multitudeH1995 dissolvedH4127; they wentH1980 hereH1988 and there.
