The people didn't know that Jonathan was gone.
014:004 Between the passes, by which Jonathan sought to go over to
the Philistines' garrison, there was a rocky crag on the one side,
and a rocky crag on the other side: and the name of the one
was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.
014:005 The one crag rose up on the north in front of Michmash,
and the other on the south in front of Geba.
014:006 Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armor, Come,
and let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised:
it may be that Yahweh will work for us; for there is no
restraint to Yahweh to save by many or by few.
014:007 His armor bearer said to him, Do all that is in your heart:
turn you, behold, I am with you according to your heart.
014:008 Then said Jonathan, Behold, we will pass over to the men,
and we will disclose ourselves to them.
014:009 If they say thus to us, Wait until we come to you; then we
will stand still in our place, and will not go up to them.
014:010 But if they say thus, Come up to us; then we will go up;
for Yahweh has delivered them into our hand: and this shall
be the sign to us.
014:011 Both of them disclosed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines:
and the Philistines said, Behold, the Hebrews come forth
out of the holes where they had hid themselves.
014:012 The men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armor bearer,
and said, Come up to us, and we will show you a thing.
Jonathan said to his armor bearer, Come up after me;
for Yahweh has delivered them into the hand of Israel.
014:013 Jonathan climbed up on his hands and on his feet, and his
armor bearer after him: and they fell before Jonathan;
and his armor bearer killed them after him.
014:014 That first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armor bearer made,
was about twenty men, within as it were half a furrow's length
in an acre of land.
014:015 There was a trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all
the people; the garrison, and the spoilers, they also trembled;
and the earth quaked: so there was an exceeding great trembling.
014:016 The watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked; and behold,
the multitude melted away, and they went [here] and there.
014:017 Then said Saul to the people who were with him, Number now,
and see who is gone from us. When they had numbered, behold,
Jonathan and his armor bearer were not there.
014:018 Saul said to Ahijah, Bring here the ark of God. For the ark
of God was [there] at that time with the children of Israel.
014:019 It happened, while Saul talked to the priest, that the tumult
that was in the camp of the Philistines went on and increased:
and Saul said to the priest, Withdraw your hand.
014:020 Saul and all the people who were with him were gathered together,
