*
Then said Jonathan , "
Behold ,
we will cross over to the men ,
and we will show ourselves to them .
*
If they say to us , `
Wait until we come to you ,'
then we will stand still in our place ,
and we will not go up to them .
*
But if they say , `
Come up to us ,'
then we will go up ;
for the LORD has given them into our hand .
And this shall be the sign to us ."
*
So both of them showed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines ;
and the Philistines said , "
Look ,
Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they have hid themselves ."
*
And the men of the garrison hailed Jonathan and his armor-bearer ,
and said , "
Come up to us ,
and we will show you a thing ."
And Jonathan said to his armor-bearer , "
Come up after me ;
for the LORD has given them into the hand of Israel ."
*
Then Jonathan climbed up on his hands and feet ,
and his armor-bearer after him .
And they fell before Jonathan ,
and his armor-bearer killed them after him ;
*
and that first slaughter ,
which Jonathan and his armor-bearer made ,
was of about twenty men within as it were half a furrow '
s length in an acre of land .
*
And there was a panic in the camp ,
in the field ,
and among all the people ;
the garrison and even the raiders trembled ;
the earth quaked ;
and it became a very great panic .
*
And the watchmen of Saul in Gib '
e-ah of Benjamin looked ;
and behold ,
the multitude was surging hither and thither .
