Jonathan took off the robe he was wearing and gave it to David. He also gave him his military clothes. He even gave him his sword, his bow and his belt.

His sword will be red with blood. It will be covered with fat. The blood will flow like the blood of lambs and goats being sacrificed. The fat will be like the fat taken from the kidneys of rams. That’s because the Lord will offer a sacrifice in the city of Bozrah. He will kill many people in the land of Edom.The people and their leaders will be killed like wild oxen and young bulls. Their land will be wet with their blood. The dust will be covered with their fat.

Jonathan spoke to the young man carrying his armor. He said,“ Come on. Let’s go over to the camp of those fellows who aren’t circumcised. Perhaps the Lord will help us. If he does, it won’t matter how many or how few of us there are. That won’t keep the Lord from saving us.”“ Go ahead,” the young man said.“ Do everything you have in mind. I’m with you all the way.”Jonathan said,“ Come on, then. We’ll go across the pass toward the Philistines and let them see us.Suppose they say to us,‘ Wait there until we come to you.’ Then we’ll stay where we are. We won’t go up to them.But suppose they say,‘ Come up to us.’ Then we’ll climb up. That will show us that the Lord has handed them over to us.”So Jonathan and the young man let the soldiers in the Philistine camp see them.“ Look!” said the Philistines.“ Some of the Hebrews are crawling out of the holes they were hiding in.”The men in the Philistine camp shouted to Jonathan and the young man carrying his armor. They said,“ Come on up here. We’ll teach you a thing or two.” So Jonathan said to the young man,“ Climb up after me. The Lord has handed them over to Israel.”Using his hands and feet, Jonathan climbed up. The young man was right behind him. Jonathan struck down the Philistines. The young man followed him and killed those who were still alive.In that first attack, Jonathan and the young man killed about 20 men. They did it in an area of about half an acre.

I will make my arrows drip with blood. My sword will destroy people. It will kill some. It will even kill prisoners. It will cut off the heads of enemy leaders.”
