Jonathan, the son of Saul, loved the Lord, and had a brave and fearless heart.
V.1-2 Jonathan and his armor bearer are secretly planning to go right into the camp of the enemy to fight, and at the same time Saul is resting under a pomegranate tree!
V.3 A priest, wearing the proper clothes was there, but he was not used for his proper work.
V.4-6 It took courage to go out against a whole army, with just one man with him. But Jonathan’s trust was in the Lord.
V.7-17 With perfect confidence in God, Jonathan and his armor bearer enter into the powerful army of the Philistines. See the result! The Lord is with them.
V.17-20 Saul didn’t even know that his own son was there fighting the battles of the Lord.
V.21 Here is a sad thing — some of the Hebrews (Israelites) had been living among their enemies, the Philistines. They were friends with the enemy! It reminds us of James 4:44Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. (James 4:4).
