1 And it came about, on a certain day, that Jonathan son of Saul said unto the young man bearing his armour: Come! and let us pass over unto the garrison of the Philistines, that is on the other side, yonder! but, to his father, he told it not.

and to say Jonathan to(wards) [the] youth to lift: bear article/utensil his to go: come! [emph?] and to pass to(wards) station [the] uncircumcised [the] these perhaps to make: do LORD to/for us for nothing to/for LORD restraint to/for to save in/on/with many or in/on/with little

and to reveal: reveal two their to(wards) station Philistine and to say Philistine behold Hebrew to come out: come from [the] hole which to hide there

12 And the men of the garrison responded to Jonathan and his armour-bearer, and said—Come up unto us, and we will let you know a thing. Then said Jonathan unto his armour-bearer—Come up after me, for Yahweh hath delivered them into the hand of Israel.
