7. His armor-bearer replied, “Do whatever you think best; I am with you in whatever you decide.”
8. Jonathan continued: “When we cross over to those men, we will be visible to them.
9. If they say to us, ‘Stay there until we can come to you,’ we will stop where we are; we will not go up to them.
10. But if they say, ‘Come up to us,’ we will go up, because the Lord has delivered them into our hand. That will be our sign.”
11. When the two of them came into the view of the Philistine outpost, the Philistines remarked, “Look, some Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they have been hiding.”
12. The men of the outpost called to Jonathan and his armor-bearer. “Come up here,” they said, “and we will teach you a lesson.” So Jonathan said to his armor-bearer, “Climb up after me, for the Lord has delivered them into the hand of Israel.”
13. Jonathan clambered up with his armor-bearer behind him. As the Philistines fell before Jonathan, his armor-bearer, who followed him, would finish them off.
