New Century Version

1 Samuel 14:7-11 New Century Version (NCV)

7. The officer who carried Jonathan’s armor said to him, “Do whatever you think is best. Go ahead. I’m with you.”

8. Jonathan said, “Then come. We will cross over to the Philistines and let them see us.

9. If they say to us, ‘Stay there until we come to you,’ we will stay where we are. We won’t go up to them.

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!”
