There were no blacksmiths in the land of Israel in those days.

The Philistines wouldn’t allow them

for fear they would make swords and spears for the Hebrews.

One day Jonathan said to his armor bearer,

“Come on, let’s go over to where the Philistines have their outpost.”

To reach the Philistine outpost,

Jonathan had to go down between two rocky cliffs…

“Let’s go across to the outpost of these pagans,”

Jonathan said to his armor bearer.

“Perhaps the LORD will help us for nothing can hinder the LORD.

He can win a battle whether he has many warriors or only a few!”

…and the Philistines fell before Jonathan,

and his armor bearer killed those who came behind them.

Suddenly, panic broke out in the Philistine army…

And just then an earthquake struck,

and everyone was terrified.
