1 Samuel 14:8 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 14:8

Then said Jonathan, behold, we will pass over to these men,
&c.] Over the precipices to them, as steep and as cragged as they are:

and we will discover ourselves to them;
present themselves to them at daylight, and let them know plainly who they were, that they were Hebrews.

1 Samuel 14:8 In-Context

6 Jonathan said to the young man who carried his armor, "Come, let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised; it may be that the Lord will act for us; for nothing can hinder the Lord from saving by many or by few."

7 His armor-bearer said to him, "Do all that your mind inclines to. I am with you; as your mind is, so is mine."

8 Then Jonathan said, "Now we will cross over to those men and will show ourselves to them.

9 If they say to us, "Wait until we come to you,' then we will stand still in our place, and we will not go up to them.

10 But if they say, "Come up to us,' then we will go up; for the Lord has given them into our hand. That will be the sign for us."
