And Jonathan said to the young man that bare his armour, Come, and let us go over unto the garrison of these uncircumcised: it may be that the LORD will work for us: for there is no restraint to the LORD to save by many or by few.
Jonathan said to the young man ... Come, and let us go over unto the garrison, х 'el (H413) matsab (H4673). The Septuagint takes this word as the name of a place, and translates it as: Diaboomen eis Messab, let us go over to Messab].
It may be that the Lord will work for us. This expression did not imply a doubt: it signified simply that the object he aimed at was not in his own power, that it depended upon God, and that he expected success neither from his own strength nor his own merit.
