1 Samuel 14:6-16

6Then Jonathan said to the young man carrying his armor, “Come, let’s cross over to the garrison of these uncircumcised ones. Perhaps Adonai will work for us, for nothing restrains Adonai from delivering whether by many or by few.”

7His armor-bearer answered him, “Do whatever is in your heart; go ahead—I’m with you whatever your heart decides.”

8Then Jonathan said, “Here, we’ll cross over to the men, then let them see us.

9If they say to us: ‘Wait till we come to you,’ then we’ll stand still in our place and will not go up to them.

10But if they say, ‘Come up to us!’ then we will go up, for Adonai has delivered them into our hand—that will be our sign.”

11So they both let themselves be seen by the Philistine garrison. “Look, some Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they were hiding,” the Philistines said.

12So the men of the garrison shouted down to Jonathan and his armor-bearer saying, “Come up to us and we’ll teach you a lesson!” Then Jonathan said to his armor-bearer, “Follow me, for Adonai has handed them over to Israel!”

13So Jonathan climbed up on his hands and feet, with his armor-bearer behind him. Then they fell before Jonathan, his armor-bearer behind him finishing them off.

14That first assault that Jonathan and his armor-bearer made struck down about 20 men within about half a furrow in an acre of land.

15Terror then spread through the camp, in the field, and among all the troops. Even the outposts and the raiders also trembled, when the earth quaked—it was a trembling from God.

16Now Saul’s watchmen in Gibeah of Benjamin saw the throng scattering away in every direction.
