Contextual Overview

1 One day Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man who was carrying his battle-clothes, "Come, let us go over to the place where the Philistine soldiers are on the other side." But he did not tell his father. 2 Saul was staying beside Gibeah under the pomegranate tree in Migron. There were about 600 men with him, 3 and Ahijah the son of Ahitub, Ichabod's brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the religious leader of the Lord at Shiloh, wearing the linen vest. And the people did not know Jonathan had gone. 4 Between the passes where Jonathan went to cross over to the Philistine soldiers, there was a sharp rock on the one side, and a sharp rock on the other side. The name of one was Bozez. The name of the other was Seneh. 5 One rock stood on the north in front of Michmash. The other stood on the south in front of Geba. 6 Jonathan said to the young man who was carrying his battle-clothes, "Come, let us go over to the place where the soldiers are who have not gone through the religious act of the Jews. It may be that the Lord will work for us, for there is nothing to keep the Lord from saving by many or by few." 7 The young man who was carrying his battle-clothes said to him, "Do all that is in your mind. I am with you in whatever you think to do." 8 Jonathan said, "We will cross over to the men and show ourselves to them. 9 If they say to us, ‘Wait until we come to you,' then we will stand still in our place and not go up to them. 10 But if they say, ‘Come up to us,' then we will go up. For the Lord has given them into our hands. This will be the special thing for us to see."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And both of them discovered themselves unto the garrison of the Philistines,.... They passed over the valley that lay between Michmash and Gibeah, and presented themselves at the bottom of the hill or rock on which the garrison was, to the open view of it; and who might easily discern who they were, that they were Hebrews, as they did, as follows:

and the Philistines said, behold, the Hebrews came forth out of the holes where they had hid themselves, being in want of provisions, and almost starved, and so obliged to come out to seek for sustenance; see

1 Samuel 14:6.
