Jonathan and his armourbearer secretly climb toward a Philistine garrison, trusting that the LORD can save ‘by many or by few.’ Their bold attack contributes to a panic that spreads through the Philistine camp. Saul then complicates the victory with a rash oath forbidding food until evening; Jonathan unknowingly violates it, and the people finally prevent Saul from executing his own son.
