9 If they say to us, ‘Stay there until we get to you,’ then we’ll stay where we are and won’t go up to them.
10 But if they say, ‘Come on up,’ then we’ll go up because that will be the sign that the Lord has handed them over to us."
11 So they showed themselves to the Philistine fort, and the Philistines said, "Look, the Hebrews are coming out of the holes they’ve been hiding in!"
12 Then the troops in the fort yelled to Jonathan and his armor-bearer, "Come on up! We’ll teach you a lesson!"So Jonathan said to his armor-bearer, "Follow me, because the Lord has handed them over to Israel!"
13 So Jonathan scrambled up on his hands and feet with his armor-bearer right behind him. The Philistines fell before Jonathan. His armor-bearer, coming behind him, would then finish them off.
14 In the first attack, Jonathan and his armor-bearer killed about twenty men in an area of about half an acre.
15 Panic broke out in the camp, in the field, and among all the troops. Even those in the fort and the raiders shook with fear. The very ground shook! It was a terror from God.
