1 Samuel
1 Samuel 14:6–7
6Jonathan said to the young man bearing his armor, “Come, let us cross over to the outpost of these uncircumcised men. Perhaps the LORD will work on our behalf. Nothing can hinder the LORD from saving, whether by many or by few.”
7His armor-bearer replied, “Do all that is in your heart. Go ahead; I am with you heart and soul.”
