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 athis will be a sign to us.”
11 So both of them showed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines. And the Philistines said, “Look, the Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they have ahidden.”
12 Then the men of the garrison called to Jonathan and his armorbearer, and said, “Come up to us, and we will1 show you something.” Jonathan said to his armorbearer, “Come up after me, for the Lord has delivered them into the hand of Israel.”
13 And Jonathan climbed up on his hands and knees with his armorbearer after him; and they afell before Jonathan. And as he came after him, his armorbearer killed them.
14 That first slaughter which Jonathan and his armorbearer made was about twenty men within about1 half an acre of land.
