6. Jonathan said to the young man, “Let's cross over to the camp of those heathen Philistines. Maybe the Lord will help us; if he does, nothing can keep him from giving us the victory, no matter how few of us there are.”
7. The young man answered, “Whatever you want to do, I'm with you.”
8. “All right,” Jonathan said. “We will go across and let the Philistines see us.
9. If they tell us to wait for them to come to us, then we will stay where we are.
10. But if they tell us to go to them, then we will, because that will be the sign that the Lord has given us victory over them.”
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.
