1 Samuel 14:14-16
Lexham English Bible
14 So was the first attack in which Jonathan and his armor bearer[a] killed about twenty men within about half of a furrow in an acre of an open field. 15 Then there was terror[b] in the camp, in the open field, and among all the army of the garrison. Even the raiders[c] trembled. The earth shook, and it became a very great panic.[d]
16 And the lookouts of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin saw that[e] the multitude surged back and forth.[f]
