1Samuel:14:1-14
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Now it came to pass upon a day ,
that Jonathan the son of Saul said unto the young man that bare his armour ,
Come ,
and let us go over to the Philistines '
garrison ,
that is on the other side .
But he told not his father .
*
And Saul tarried in the uttermost part of Gibeah under a pomegranate tree which is in Migron :
and the people that were with him were about six hundred men ;
*
And Ahiah ,
the son of Ahitub ,
Ichabod '
s brother ,
the son of Phinehas ,
the son of Eli ,
the LORD '
S priest in Shiloh ,
wearing an ephod .
And the people knew not that Jonathan was gone .
*
And between the passages ,
by which Jonathan sought to go over unto the Philistines '
garrison ,
there was a sharp rock on the one side ,
and a sharp rock on the other side :
and the name of the one was Bozez ,
and the name of the other Seneh .
*
The forefront of the one was situate northward over against Michmash ,
and the other southward over against Gibeah .
*
And Jonathan said to the young man that bare his armour ,
Come ,
and let us go over unto the garrison of these uncircumcised :
it may be that the LORD will work for us :
for there is no restraint to the LORD to save by many or by few .
*
And his armourbearer said unto him ,
Do all that is in thine heart :
turn thee ;
behold ,
I am with thee according to thy heart .
*
Then said Jonathan ,
Behold ,
we will pass over unto these men ,
and we will discover ourselves unto them .
*
If they say thus unto us ,
Tarry until we come to you ;
then we will stand still in our place ,
and will not go up unto them .
*
But if they say thus ,
Come up unto us ;
then we will go up :
for the LORD hath delivered them into our hand :
and this shall be a sign unto us .
*
And both of them discovered themselves unto the garrison of the Philistines :
and the Philistines said ,
Behold ,
the Hebrews come forth out of the holes where they had hid themselves .
*
And the men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armourbearer ,
and said ,
Come up to us ,
and we will shew you a thing .
And Jonathan said unto his armourbearer ,
Come up after me :
for the LORD hath delivered them into the hand of Israel .
*
And Jonathan climbed up upon his hands and upon his feet ,
and his armourbearer after him :
and they fell before Jonathan ;
and his armourbearer slew after him .
*
And that first slaughter ,
which Jonathan and his armourbearer made ,
was about twenty men ,
within as it were an half acre of land ,
which a yoke of oxen might plow .
