1 Samuel 14:3-7 New English Translation (NET)

3. Now Ahijah was carrying an ephod. He was the son of Ahitub, who was the brother of Ichabod and a son of Phineas, son of Eli, the priest of the Lord in Shiloh. The army was unaware that Jonathan had left.

4. Now there was a steep cliff on each side of the pass through which Jonathan intended to go to reach the Philistine garrison. One cliff was named Bozez, the other Seneh.

5. The cliff to the north was closer to Micmash, the one to the south closer to Geba.

6. Jonathan said to his armor bearer, “Come on, let’s go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised men. Perhaps the Lord will intervene for us. Nothing can prevent the Lord from delivering, whether by many or by a few.”

7. His armor bearer said to him, “Do everything that is on your mind. Do as you’re inclined. I’m with you all the way!”
