Context of 1 Samuel 14:8
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.” Then 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.”
