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 1 Samuel 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.
