1 Samuel 14:1–7

Jonathan’s Victory

¹Now the day came that Jonathan, the son of Saul, said to the young man who was carrying his armor, “Come and let us cross over to the Philistines’ garrison that is on the other side.” But he did not tell his father.

²Saul was staying in the outskirts of ^aGibeah under the pomegranate tree which is in ^bMigron. And the people who were with him were ^cabout six hundred men,

³and Ahijah, the ^ason of Ahitub, ^bIchabod’s brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the priest of the Lord at ^cShiloh, ^dwas ¹wearing an ephod. And the people did not know that Jonathan had gone.

^4aBetween the passes by which Jonathan sought to cross over to the Philistines’ garrison, there was a sharp crag on the one side and a sharp crag on the other side, and the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.

⁵The one crag rose on the north opposite Michmash, and the other on the south opposite Geba.

⁶Then Jonathan said to the young man who was carrying his armor, “Come and let us cross over to the garrison of ^athese uncircumcised; perhaps the Lord will work for us, for ^bthe Lord is not restrained to save by many or by few.”

⁷His armor bearer said to him, “Do all that is in your heart; turn yourself, and here I am with you according to your ¹desire.”
