1 Samuel 14:5-7
Easy-to-Read Version
5 One of the rocks faced north toward Micmash, and the other faced south toward Geba.
6 Jonathan said to his young helper who carried his weapons, “Come on, let’s go to the camp of those foreigners.[a] Maybe the Lord will use us to defeat them. Nothing can stop the Lord—it doesn’t matter if we have many soldiers or just a few soldiers.”
7 The young man who carried Jonathan’s weapons said to him, “Do what you think is best. Whatever you decide, I am with you all the way.”
