1 Samuel 14:12 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 14:12

And the men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his
armourbearer
The guards that were set to watch the garrison, who descrying them, called to them, and said:

come up to us, and we will show you a thing;
we have something to say to you, a pretty thing to show you, when you shall pay dear for your boldness and impudence, in daring to come so near; not imagining that they could come, or would dare to attempt to come any further:

and Jonathan said unto his armourbearer, come up after me;
follow me, and never fear but we will find a way to come up to them, however difficult it may be:

for the Lord hath delivered them into the hand of Israel;
he knew by their language that God had given them a spirit of fear, that they durst not come out of their hold, and come down to them; and that he had cast them into a spirit of security and vain confidence, that they could never come at them, and give them any trouble; and from thence he concluded deliverance was at hand for the people of Israel, he seeking not his own private interest and glory, but the public good; and which he was ready to ascribe not to his own valour and courage, but to the power, kindness, and goodness of God.

1 Samuel 14:12 In-Context

10 Pero si nos dicen: “Suban y peleen”, entonces subiremos. Esa será la señal del Señor
de que nos ayudará a derrotarlos.

11 Cuando los filisteos vieron que se acercaban, gritaron: «¡Miren, los hebreos salen de sus escondites!».

12 Entonces los hombres de la avanzada le gritaron a Jonatán: «¡Suban aquí y les daremos una lección!».
«Vamos, sube detrás de mí —le dijo Jonatán a su escudero—, ¡porque el Señor
nos ayudará a derrotarlos!».

13 Así que escalaron usando pies y manos. Entonces los filisteos caían ante Jonatán, y su escudero mataba a los que venían por detrás.

14 Mataron a unos veinte hombres en total, y sus cuerpos quedaron dispersos en un espacio de media hectárea.
