6 And Jonathan said to the young man that bare his Armour , Come, and let us go over unto the garrison of these Uncircumcised : it may be that the Lord Will Work for us: for there is no restraint to the Lord to Save by many or by few.
7 And his armourbearer said unto him, Do All that is in thine Heart : turn thee; Behold , I am with thee according to thy heart.
8 Then said Jonathan, Behold , we Will pass over unto these men, and we Will discover ourselves unto them.
9 If they Say thus unto us, Tarry until we come to You ; then we Will Stand still in our Place , and Will not go up unto them.
10 But if they Say thus, Come up unto us; then we Will go up: for the Lord hath delivered them into our hand: and this shall be a Sign unto us.
11 And both of them discovered themselves unto the garrison of the Philistines: and the Philistines said, Behold , the Hebrews come forth out of the holes where they had hid themselves.
12 And the men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armourbearer, and said, Come up to us, and we Will shew You a thing. And Jonathan said unto his armourbearer, Come up after me: for the Lord hath delivered them into the hand of Israel.
13 And Jonathan climbed up upon his hands and upon his feet, and his armourbearer after him: and they fell before Jonathan; and his armourbearer slew after him.
14 And that first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armourbearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were an half acre of land, which a yoke of oxen Might plow.
15 And there was trembling in the host, in the field, and among All the people: the garrison, and the spoilers, they also trembled, and the Earth quaked: so it was a very Great trembling.
16 And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked; and, Behold , the multitude melted away, and they went on beating down one another.

1 And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech King of the Philistines unto Gerar.
2 And the LORD appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt ; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of:
3 Sojourn in this land, and I Will be with thee, and Will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy Seed , I Will Give All these countries, and I Will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father;
4 And I Will make thy Seed to multiply as the stars of Heaven , and Will Give unto thy Seed All these countries; and in thy Seed shall All the Nations of the Earth be blessed;
5 Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.
6 And Isaac dwelt in Gerar:
7 And the men of the Place asked him of his wife; and he said, She is my sister: for he feared to Say , She is my wife; lest, said he, the men of the Place should Kill me for Rebekah; because she was Fair to look upon.
8 And it came to pass, when he had been there a long Time , that Abimelech King of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, Behold , Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife.
9 And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold , of a surety she is thy wife; and how saidst thou, She is my sister? And Isaac said unto him, Because I said, Lest I Die for her.
10 And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done unto us? one of the people Might lightly have lien with thy wife, and thou shouldest have brought guiltiness upon us.
11 And Abimelech charged All his people, saying, He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.
12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and Received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD Blessed him.
13 And the man waxed Great , and went forward, and grew until he became very great:
14 For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and Great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him.
15 For All the wells which his father's servants had digged in the days of Abraham his Father , the Philistines had stopped them, and filled them with earth.
16 And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we.
