Context of 1 Samuel 14:7
5One crag was to the north near Michmas, and the other to the south near Geba. 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.” His 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.
