4 Jonathan planned to go across the pass to reach the Philistine camp. But there was a cliff on each side of the pass. One cliff was called Bozez. The other was called Seneh.
5 One cliff stood on the north side of the pass toward Micmash. The other stood on the south side toward Geba.
6 Jonathan spoke to the young man who was carrying his armor. He said, "Come on. Let's go over to the camp of those fellows who aren't circumcised. Perhaps the Lord will help us. If he does, it won't matter how many or how few of us there are. That won't keep the Lord from saving us."
7 "Go ahead," the young man said. "Do everything you have in mind. I'm with you all the way."
8 Jonathan said, "Come on, then. We'll go across the pass toward the Philistines and let them see us.
9 Suppose they say to us, 'Wait there until we come to you.' Then we'll stay where we are. We won't go up to them.
10 But suppose they say, 'Come up to us.' Then we'll climb up. That will show us that the Lord has handed them over to us."
