New Testament

1 Samuel 14:1-5 New Century Version (NCV)

1. One day Jonathan, Saul’s son, said to the officer who carried his armor, “Come, let’s go over to the Philistine camp on the other side.” But Jonathan did not tell his father.

2. Saul was sitting under a pomegranate tree at the threshing floor near Gibeah. He had about six hundred men with him.

3. One man was Ahijah who was wearing the holy vest. (Ahijah was a son of Ichabod’s brother Ahitub. Ichabod was the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the Lord’s priest in Shiloh.) No one knew Jonathan had left.

4. There was a steep slope on each side of the pass that Jonathan planned to go through to reach the Philistine camp. The cliff on one side was named Bozez, and the cliff on the other side was named Seneh.

5. One cliff faced north toward Micmash. The other faced south toward Geba.
