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 And Jonathan said to his young servant who had his arms, Come, let us go over to the armies of these men who have no circumcision: it may be that the Lord will give us help, for there is no limit to his power; the Lord is able to give salvation by a great army or by a small band.

7 And his servant said to him, Do whatever is in your mind: see, I am with you in every impulse of your heart.

8 Then Jonathan said, Now we will go over to these men and let them see us.

9 If they say to us, Keep quiet where you are till we come to you; then we will keep our places and 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 hands: and this will be the sign to us.
