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 Y'honatan said to his armor-bearer, "Come on, let's go across to the garrison of these uncircumcised people. Maybe ADONAI will do something for us, since ADONAI can rescue with a few people as easily as with many."

7 His armor-bearer replied, "Do everything you think you should; I'm with you, whatever you decide."

8 Y'honatan said, "Here, we'll cross over to those men and let them know we're there.

9 If they say, 'Wait till we come to you,' we'll stand still where we are and not go up to them.

10 But if they say,'Come up to us,' we'll go on up; and that will be the sign that ADONAI has given us victory over them."
