1 Samuel 14:13

1Sa 14:13 And Jonathan climbed up upon his hands and upon his feet, and his armourbearer after him: and they fell before Jonathan; and his armourbearer slew after him.

Ver. 13. And Jonathan climbed up upon his hands and upon his feet. ] See 1 Samuel 14:4 . Faith in God’s power and promises will eat its way over all Alps of opposition. Magna facinora, magnis periculis emuntur, saith the historian. a Great acts are bought with great hazards.

And they fell before Jonathan. ] Who cut his way through a wood of men: as did afterwards the thrice noble Scanderbeg.

And his armour bearer slew after him. ] With the weapons of the slain Philistines he slew more of them.
