Read word by wordOne cliff stood to the north toward Michmash, and the other to the south toward Geba.
Read word by wordJonathan said to the young man bearing his armor, “Come, let us cross over to the outpost of these uncircumcised men. Perhaps the LORD will work on our behalf. Nothing can hinder the LORD from saving, whether by many or by few.”
Read word by wordIf they say, ‘Wait until we come to you,’ then we will stay where we are and will not go up to them.
Read word by wordBut if they say, ‘Come on up,’ then we will go up, because this will be our sign that the LORD has delivered them into our hands.”

Read word by wordNow the men of Israel were in distress that day, for Saul had placed the troops under an oath, saying, “Cursed is the man who eats any food before evening, before I have taken vengeance on my enemies.” So none of the troops tasted any food.
Read word by wordThen all the troops entered the forest, and there was honey on the ground.
Read word by wordAnd when they entered the forest and saw the flowing honey, not one of them put his hand to his mouth, because they feared the oath.

Read word by wordAnd Saul said, “Let us go down after the Philistines by night and plunder them until dawn, leaving no man alive!” “Do what seems good to you,” the troops replied. But the priest said, “We must consult God here.”

Read word by wordSo Saul said to the LORD, the God of Israel, “Why have You not answered Your servant this day? If the fault is with me or my son Jonathan, respond with Urim, but if the fault is with the men of Israel, respond with Thummim.” And Jonathan and Saul were selected, but the people were cleared of the charge.
Read word by wordThen Saul said, “Cast the lot between me and my son Jonathan.” And Jonathan was selected.
Read word by wordAnd Saul declared, “May God punish me, and ever so severely, if you, Jonathan, do not surely die!”
