1 Samuel 14:10-13 New Century Version (NCV)

10. But if they say, ‘Come up to us,’ we will climb up, and the Lord will let us defeat them. This will be the sign for us.”

11. When both Jonathan and his officer let the Philistines see them, the Philistines said, “Look! The Hebrews are crawling out of the holes they were hiding in!”

12. The Philistines in the camp shouted to Jonathan and his officer, “Come up to us. We’ll teach you a lesson!”Jonathan said to his officer, “Climb up behind me, because the Lord has given the Philistines to Israel!”

13. So Jonathan climbed up, using his hands and feet, and his officer climbed just behind him. Jonathan struck down the Philistines as he went, and his officer killed them as he followed behind him.
