*
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 Yisra #
el #.
*
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 .
*
And there was trembling in the host ,
in the field ,
and among all the people :
the garrison ,
and the spoilers ,
they also trembled ,
and the earth quaked :
so it was a very great trembling .
*
And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked ;
and ,
behold ,
the multitude melted away ,
and they went on beating down one another .
*
Then said Saul unto the people that were with him ,
Number now ,
and see who is gone from us .
And when they had numbered ,
behold ,
Jonathan and his armourbearer were not there .
*
And Saul said unto Ahiah ,
Bring hither the ark of God .
For the ark of God was at that time with the children of Israel Yisra #
el #.
*
And it came to pass ,
while Saul talked unto the priest ,
that the noise that was in the host of the Philistines went on and increased :
and Saul said unto the priest ,
Withdraw thine hand .
*
And Saul and all the people that were with him assembled themselves ,
and they came to the battle :
and ,
behold ,
every mans sword was against his fellow ,
and there was a very great discomfiture .
*
Moreover the Hebrews that were with the Philistines before that time ,
which went up with them into the camp from the country round about ,
even they also turned to be with the Israelites that were with Saul and Jonathan .
*
Likewise all the men of Israel which had hid themselves in mount Ephraim ,
when they heard that the Philistines fled ,
even they also followed hard after them in the battle .
