²Meanwhile, Saul and his 600 men were camped on the outskirts of Gibeah, around the pomegranate tree#14:2 Or around the rock of Rimmon; compare Judg 20:45, 47; 21:13. at Migron. ³Among Saul’s men was Ahijah the priest, who was wearing the ephod, the priestly vest. Ahijah was the son of Ichabod’s brother Ahitub, son of Phinehas, son of Eli, the priest of the Lord who had served at Shiloh.No one realized that Jonathan had left the Israelite camp. ⁴To reach the Philistine outpost, Jonathan had to go down between two rocky cliffs that were called Bozez and Seneh. ⁵The cliff on the north was in front of Micmash, and the one on the south was in front of Geba. ⁶“Let’s go across to the outpost of those pagans, ” Jonathan said to his armor bearer. “Perhaps the Lord will help us, for nothing can hinder the Lord. He can win a battle whether he has many warriors or only a few!” ⁸“All right, then, ” Jonathan told him. “We will cross over and let them see us. ⁹If they say to us, ‘Stay where you are or we’ll kill you, ’ then we will stop and not go up to them. ¹⁰But if they say, ‘Come on up and fight, ’ then we will go up. That will be the Lord’s sign that he will help us defeat them.” ¹¹When the Philistines saw them coming, they shouted, “Look! The Hebrews are crawling out of their holes!” ¹³So they climbed up using both hands and feet, and the Philistines fell before Jonathan, and his armor bearer killed those who came behind them. ¹⁴They killed some twenty men in all, and their bodies were scattered over about half an acre.#14:14 Hebrew half a yoke; a “yoke” was the amount of land plowed by a pair of yoked oxen in one day. ¹⁵Suddenly, panic broke out in the Philistine army, both in the camp and in the field, including even the outposts and raiding parties. And just then an earthquake struck, and everyone was terrified. ¹⁷“Call the roll and find out who’s missing, ” Saul ordered. And when they checked, they found that Jonathan and his armor bearer were gone. ¹⁹But while Saul was talking to the priest, the confusion in the Philistine camp grew louder and louder. So Saul said to the priest, “Never mind; let’s get going!”#14:19 Hebrew Withdraw your hand. ²⁰Then Saul and all his men rushed out to the battle and found the Philistines killing each other. There was terrible confusion everywhere. ²¹Even the Hebrews who had previously gone over to the Philistine army revolted and joined in with Saul, Jonathan, and the rest of the Israelites. ²²Likewise, the men of Israel who were hiding in the hill country of Ephraim joined the chase when they saw the Philistines running away. ²⁴Now the men of Israel were pressed to exhaustion that day, because Saul had placed them under an oath, saying, “Let a curse fall on anyone who eats before evening - before I have full revenge on my enemies.” So no one ate anything all day, ²⁵even though they had all found honeycomb on the ground in the forest. ²⁶They didn’t dare touch the honey because they all feared the oath they had taken. ²⁷But Jonathan had not heard his father’s command, and he dipped the end of his stick into a piece of honeycomb and ate the honey. After he had eaten it, he felt refreshed.#14:27 Or his eyes brightened; similarly in 14:29. ²⁸But one of the men saw him and said, “Your father made the army take a strict oath that anyone who eats food today will be cursed. That is why everyone is weary and faint.” ²⁹“My father has made trouble for us all!” Jonathan exclaimed. “A command like that only hurts us. See how refreshed I am now that I have eaten this little bit of honey.
