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 So Jonathan said to {his armor bearer}, "Come, let us go over to the garrisons of these uncircumcised; perhaps Yahweh will act for us, for there is no hindrance for Yahweh to save by many or by few."

7 And {his armor bearer} said, "Do all that [is] in your heart {that you are inclined to do}. {I am with you all of the way}!

8 Then Jonathan said, "Look, we [are about to] go over to the men; and we will show ourselves to them.

9 If they say to us: 'Wait until we reach you,' {then we will stand as we are} and not go up to them.

10 But if they say, 'Come up to us,' then we will go up, for Yahweh has given them into our hand, and this [will be] the sign for us."
