1 Samuel 14:1-18
1Now it came to pass upon a dayH3117, that JonathanH3129 the sonH1121 of SaulH7586 saidH559 to the young manH5288 that boreH5375 his armourH3627, ComeH3212, and let us go overH5674 to the garrisonH4673 of the PhilistinesH6430 that is on the other sideH5676H1975. But he toldH5046 not his fatherH1.1 2And SaulH7586 tarriedH3427 at the edgeH7097 of GibeahH1390 under a pomegranate treeH7416 which is in MigronH4051: and the peopleH5971 that were with him were about sixH8337 hundredH3967 menH376; 3And AhiahH281, the sonH1121 of AhitubH285, Ichabod’sH350 brotherH251, the sonH1121 of PhinehasH6372, the sonH1121 of EliH5941, the LORD’SH3068 priestH3548 in ShilohH7887, wearingH5375 an ephodH646. And the peopleH5971 knewH3045 not that JonathanH3129 was goneH1980.2 4And on each side of the passH4569, by which JonathanH3129 soughtH1245 to go overH5674 to the garrisonH4673 of the PhilistinesH6430, there was a sharpH8127 rockH5553 on the one sideH5676, and a sharpH8127 rockH5553 on the other sideH5676: and the nameH8034 of the oneH259 was BozezH949, and the nameH8034 of the otherH259 SenehH5573. 5The frontH8127 of the oneH259 roseH4690 northwardH6828 oppositeH4136 MichmashH4363, and the otherH259 southwardH5045 oppositeH4136 GibeahH1387.3 6And JonathanH3083 saidH559 to the young manH5288 that boreH5375 his armourH3627, ComeH3212, and let us go overH5674 to the garrisonH4673 of these uncircumcisedH6189: it may be that the LORDH3068 will workH6213 for us: for there is no restraintH4622 to the LORDH3068 to saveH3467 by manyH7227 or by fewH4592. 7And his armourbearerH5375H3627 saidH559 to him, DoH6213 all that is in thy heartH3824: turnH5186 thee; behold, I am with thee according to thy heartH3824. 8Then saidH559 JonathanH3083, Behold, we will pass overH5674 to these menH582, and we will showH1540 ourselves to them. 9If they sayH559 thus to us, TarryH1826 until we comeH5060 to you; then we will stand stillH5975 in our place, and will not go upH5927 to them.4 10But if they sayH559 thus, Come upH5927 to us; then we will go upH5927: for the LORDH3068 hath deliveredH5414 them into our handH3027: and this shall be a signH226 to us. 11And bothH8147 of them showedH1540 themselves to the garrisonH4673 of the PhilistinesH6430: and the PhilistinesH6430 saidH559, Behold, the HebrewsH5680 come forthH3318 out of the holesH2356 where they had hidH2244 themselves. 12And the menH582 of the garrisonH4675 answeredH6030 JonathanH3129 and his armourbearerH5375H3627, and saidH559, Come upH5927 to us, and we will showH3045 you somethingH1697. And JonathanH3129 saidH559 to his armourbearerH5375H3627, Come upH5927 afterH310 me: for the LORDH3068 hath deliveredH5414 them into the handH3027 of IsraelH3478. 13And JonathanH3129 climbed upH5927 upon his handsH3027 and upon his feetH7272, and his armourbearerH5375H3627 afterH310 him: and they fellH5307 beforeH6440 JonathanH3129; and his armourbearerH5375H3627 slewH4191 afterH310 him. 14And that firstH7223 slaughterH4347, which JonathanH3129 and his armourbearerH5375H3627 madeH5221, was about twentyH6242 menH376, within as it were an halfH2677 acreH4618 of landH7704, which a yokeH6776 of oxen might plow .5 15And there was tremblingH2731 in the hostH4264, in the fieldH7704, and among all the peopleH5971: the garrisonH4673, and the spoilersH7843, they also trembledH2729, and the earthH776 quakedH7264: so it was a very greatH430 tremblingH2731.6
16And the watchmenH6822 of SaulH7586 in GibeahH1390 of BenjaminH1144 lookedH7200; and, behold, the multitudeH1995 melted awayH4127, and they wentH3212 on beating downH1986 one another . 17Then saidH559 SaulH7586 to the peopleH5971 that were with him, NumberH6485 now, and seeH7200 who is goneH1980 from us. And when they had numberedH6485, behold, JonathanH3129 and his armourbearerH5375H3627 were not there . 18And SaulH7586 saidH559 to AhiahH281, Bring hereH5066 the arkH727 of GodH430. For the arkH727 of GodH430 was at that timeH3117 with the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
