فَقَالَ يُونَاثَانُ لِلْغُلاَمِ حَامِلِ سِلاَحِهِ: «تَعَالَ نَعْبُرْ إِلَى صَفِّ هؤُلاَءِ الْغُلْفِ، لَعَلَّ اللهَ يَعْمَلُ مَعَنَا، لأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ لِلرَّبِّ مَانِعٌ عَنْ أَنْ يُخَلِّصَ بِالْكَثِيرِ أَوْ بِالْقَلِيلِ».

We left the host of Israel in a very ill posture, in the close of the foregoing chapter; we saw in them no wisdom, nor strength, nor goodness, to give us ground to expect any other than that they should all be cut off by the army of the Philistines; yet here we find that infinite power which works without means, and that infinite goodness which gives without merit, glorified in a happy turn to their affairs, that still Samuel's words may be made good: "The Lord will not forsake his people, for his great name's sake," (Sa1 12:22). In this chapter we have, I. The host of the Philistines trampled upon, and triumphed over, by the faith and courage of Jonathan, who unknown to his father (Sa1 14:1-3), with his armour-bearer only, made a brave attack upon them, encouraging himself in the Lord his God (Sa1 14:4-7). He challenged them (Sa1 14:8-12), and, upon their acceptance of the challenge, charged them with such fury, or rather such faith, that he put them to flight, and set them one against another (Sa1 14:13-15), which gave opportunity to Saul and his forces, with other Israelites, to follow the blow, and gain a victory (Sa1 14:16-23). II. The host of Israel troubled and perplexed by the rashness and folly of Saul, who adjured the people to eat no food till night, which 1. Brought Jonathan to a praemunire (Sa1 14:24-30). 2. Was a temptation to the people, when the time of their fast had expired, to eat with the blood, (Sa1 14:31-35). Jonathan's error, through ignorance, had like to have been his death, but the people rescued him (Sa1 14:36-46). III. In the close we have a general account of Saul's exploits (Sa1 14:47, Sa1 14:48) and of his family (Sa1 14:49-52).

Victory was in God’s hands; Jonathan offered himself as an instrument God could use. • many warriors or only a few: Jonathan knew what Gideon had learned many years earlier (see Judg 7:2-8).

فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِمْ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ:«هذَا عِنْدَ النَّاسِ غَيْرُ مُسْتَطَاعٍ، وَلكِنْ عِنْدَ اللهِ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ مُسْتَطَاعٌ».
فَمَاذَا نَقُولُ لِهذَا؟ إِنْ كَانَ اللهُ مَعَنَا، فَمَنْ عَلَيْنَا؟
فَأَجَابَ وَكَلَّمَنِي قَائِلاً: «هذِهِ كَلِمَةُ الرَّبِّ إِلَى زَرُبَّابِلَ قَائِلاً: لاَ بِالْقُدْرَةِ وَلاَ بِالْقُوَّةِ، بَلْ بِرُوحِي قَالَ رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ.
كَيْفَ يَطْرُدُ وَاحِدٌ أَلْفًا، وَيَهْزِمُ اثْنَانِ رَبْوَةً، لَوْلاَ أَنَّ صَخْرَهُمْ بَاعَهُمْ وَالرَّبَّ سَلَّمَهُمْ؟
وَدَعَا آسَا الرَّبَّ إِلهَهُ وَقَالَ: «أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ، لَيْسَ فَرْقًا عِنْدَكَ أَنْ تُسَاعِدَ الْكَثِيرِينَ وَمَنْ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ قُوَّةٌ. فَسَاعِدْنَا أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلهُنَا لأَنَّنَا عَلَيْكَ اتَّكَلْنَا وَبِاسْمِكَ قَدُمْنَا عَلَى هذَا الْجَيْشِ. أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ أَنْتَ إِلهُنَا. لاَ يَقْوَ عَلَيْكَ إِنْسَانٌ».
مِصْرَ وَيَهُوذَا وَأَدُومَ وَبَنِي عَمُّونَ وَمُوآبَ، وَكُلَّ مَقْصُوصِي الشَّعْرِ مُسْتَدِيرًا السَّاكِنِينَ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ، لأَنَّ كُلَّ الأُمَمِ غُلْفٌ، وَكُلَّ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ غُلْفُ الْقُلُوبِ».
لَعَلَّ الرَّبَّ إِلهَكَ يَسْمَعُ جَمِيعَ كَلاَمِ رَبْشَاقَى الَّذِي أَرْسَلَهُ مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ سَيِّدُهُ لِيُعَيِّرَ الإِلهَ الْحَيَّ، فَيُوَبِّخَ عَلَى الْكَلاَمِ الَّذِي سَمِعَهُ الرَّبُّ إِلهُكَ. فَارْفَعْ صَلاَةً مِنْ أَجْلِ الْبَقِيَّةِ الْمَوْجُودَةِ».
لَعَلَّ الرَّبَّ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى مَذَلَّتِي وَيُكَافِئُنِي الرَّبُّ خَيْرًا عِوَضَ مَسَبَّتِهِ بِهذَا الْيَوْمِ».
فَكَلَّمَ دَاوُدُ الرِّجَالَ الْوَاقِفِينَ مَعَهُ قَائِلاً: «مَاذَا يُفْعَلُ لِلرَّجُلِ الَّذِي يَقْتُلُ ذلِكَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيَّ، وَيُزِيلُ الْعَارَ عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟ لأَنَّهُ مَنْ هُوَ هذَا الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّ الأَغْلَفُ حَتَّى يُعَيِّرَ صُفُوفَ اللهِ الْحَيِّ؟»
اُبْغُضُوا الشَّرَّ، وَأَحِبُّوا الْخَيْرَ، وَثَبِّتُوا الْحَقَّ فِي الْبَابِ، لَعَلَّ الرَّبَّ إِلهَ الْجُنُودِ يَتَرَاءَفُ عَلَى بَقِيَّةِ يُوسُفَ.
