This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

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 1Sa_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.



{a} Dionys. Halicar.
