New Living Translation
1 Samuel 14:8-13
8“All right, then,” Jonathan told him. “We will cross over and let them see us.
9If they say to us, ‘Stay where you are or we’ll kill you,’ then we will stop and not go up to them.
10But if they say, ‘Come on up and fight,’ then we will go up. That will be the Lord’s sign that he will help us defeat them.”
11When the Philistines saw them coming, they shouted, “Look! The Hebrews are crawling out of their holes!”
12Then the men from the outpost shouted to Jonathan, “Come on up here, and we’ll teach you a lesson!” “Come on, climb right behind me,” Jonathan said to his armor bearer, “for the Lord will help us defeat them!”
13So they climbed up using both hands and feet, and the Philistines fell before Jonathan, and his armor bearer killed those who came behind them.
