1 Samuel 14:7 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 14:7

And his armourbearer said unto him
Very readily and cheerfully:

do all that is in thine heart;
whatever is thy pleasure, that thou hast a mind to do, that is upon thy heart, and thou art desirous of, and strongly inclined and affected to:

turn thee;
which way thou wilt, towards the garrison of the Philistines, or elsewhere:

behold, I am with thee, according to thy heart;
I will go with thee wherever thou goest, and do whatsoever thou wouldest have me to do; I am at thy command, and according to thy wish and desire, and in all things subject to thy will; I am as thine own heart.

1 Samuel 14:7 In-Context

5 one scar was standing forth to the north (over) against Michmash, and the tother scar to the south (over) against Gibeah. (one scarp was to the north, facing Michmash, and the other scarp was to the south, facing Gibeah.)
6 And Jonathan said to his young squire, Come thou, pass we (over) to the station of these uncircumcised men, if in hap the Lord do (battle) for us; for it is not hard to the Lord to save, either in many, either in few (for it is not hard for the Lord to keep a man safe, yea, either a few, or many).
7 And his squire said to him, Do thou all things that please thy soul; go whither thou covetest, I shall be with thee, wherever thou wilt.
8 And Jonathan said, Lo! we pass (over) to these men; and when we appear to them,
9 if they speak thus to us, Dwell ye (Stay ye), till we come to you; stand we in our place, and go we not up to them.
