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 Then Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armor, "Come, let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised; it may be that the Lord will work for us. For nothing restrains the Lord from saving by many or by few."

7 So his armorbearer said to him, "Do all that is in your heart. Go then; here I am with you, according to your heart."

8 Then Jonathan said, "Very well, let us cross over to these men, and we will show ourselves to them.

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

10 But if they say thus, 'Come up to us,' then we will go up. For the Lord has delivered them into our hand, and this will be a sign to us."
