11. So they let the Philistines see them, and the Philistines said, “Look! Some Hebrews are coming out of the holes they have been hiding in!”

12. Then they called out to Jonathan and the young man, “Come on up here! We have something to tell you!”Jonathan said to the young man, “Follow me. The Lord has given Israel victory over them.”

13. Jonathan climbed up out of the pass on his hands and knees, and the young man followed him. Jonathan attacked the Philistines and knocked them down, and the young man killed them.

14. In that first slaughter Jonathan and the young man killed about twenty men in an area of about a quarter of a hectare.

15. All the Philistines in the countryside were terrified; the raiders and the soldiers in the camp trembled with fear; the earth shook, and there was great panic.

16. Saul's men on watch at Gibeah in the territory of Benjamin saw the Philistines running in confusion.
