7. And his armor-bearer said to him, Do all that is in your mind; I am with you in whatever you think [best].
8. Jonathan said, We will pass over to these men and we will let them see us.
9. If they say to us, Wait until we come to you, then we will stand still in our place and will not go up to them.
10. But if they say, Come up to us, we will go up, for the Lord has delivered them into our hand, and this will be our sign.
11. So both of them let the Philistine garrison see them. And the Philistines said, Behold, the Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they have hidden themselves.
12. The garrison men said to Jonathan and his armor-bearer, Come up to us and we will show you a thing. Jonathan said to his armor-bearer, Come up after me, for the Lord has given them into Israel's hand.
13. Then Jonathan climbed up on his hands and feet, his armor-bearer after him; and the enemy fell before Jonathan, and his armor-bearer killed them after him.
14. And that first slaughter which Jonathan and his armor-bearer made was about twenty men within about a half acre of land [which a yoke of oxen might plow].
15. And there was trembling and panic in the [Philistine] camp, in the field, and among all the men; the garrison, and even the raiders trembled; the earth quaked, and it became a terror from God.
16. Saul's watchmen in Gibeah of Benjamin looked, and behold, the multitude melted away and went hither and thither.
17. Then Saul said to the men with him, Number and see who is gone from us. When they numbered, behold, Jonathan and his armor-bearer were missing.
