4. On each side of the pass that Jonathan intended to cross to reach the Philistine outpost was a cliff; one was called Bozez and the other Seneh.
5. One cliff stood to the north towards Michmash, the other to the south towards Geba.
6. Jonathan said to his young armour-bearer, ‘Come, let’s go over to the outpost of those uncircumcised men. Perhaps the Lord will act on our behalf. Nothing can hinder the Lord from saving, whether by many or by few.’
7. ‘Do all that you have in mind,’ his armour-bearer said. ‘Go ahead; I am with you heart and soul.’
8. Jonathan said, ‘Come on, then; we will cross over towards them and let them see us.
9. If they say to us, “Wait there until we come to you,” we will stay where we are and not go up to them.
