Samuel 14:6"> 6 Dijo pues Jonath�n � su criado que le tra�a las armas: Ven, pasemos � la guarnici�n de estos incircuncisos: quiz� har� Jehov� por nosotros; que no es dif�cil � Jehov� salvar con multitud � con poco n�mero.
Dijo, pues, Jonat�n a su criado que le tra�a las armas: Ven, pasemos a la guarnici�n de estos incircuncisos; quiz� Jehov� haga algo por nosotros; que no es dif�cil a Jehov� salvar con muchos o con pocos.
Dijo, pues, Jonat�n a su criado que le tra�a las armas: Ven, pasemos a la guarnici�n de estos incircuncisos; por ventura har� el SE�OR por nosotros; que no es dif�cil al SE�OR salvar con multitud o con poco n�mero.
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
Come: This action of Jonathan's was totally contrary to the laws of war; no military operation should be undertaken without the knowledge and command of the general. But it is highly probable, that this gallant man was led to undertake the hazardous enterprise by an immediate divine impulse; and by the same influence was kept from informing the soldiers, and even from consulting his father, who might have opposed his design.
uncircumcised: 1 Samuel 17:26, 1 Samuel 17:36, Genesis 17:7-11, Judges 15:18, 2 Samuel 1:20, Jeremiah 9:23, Jeremiah 9:26, Ephesians 2:11, Ephesians 2:12, Philippians 3:3
it may be: 2 Samuel 16:12, 2 Kings 19:4, Amos 5:15, Zephaniah 2:3
for there is no restraint: Where there is a promise of defense and support, the weakest, in the face of the strongest enemy, may rely upon it with the utmost confidence. Deuteronomy 32:30, Judges 7:4-7, 2 Chronicles 14:11, Psalms 115:1-3, Zechariah 4:6, Matthew 19:26, Romans 8:31

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Jonathan said to the young man that bare his armour,.... A second time, as Abarbinel thinks; the young man giving no answer to him the first time, perhaps through fear, he repeats it, and enlarges upon it for his encouragement:
come, and let us go over unto the garrison of these uncircumcised; as these Philistines were, whereas several of the other nations, though Heathen, were circumcised; as the Edomites, Arabians, and others; and this Jonathan observes to the young man, in hope that they being such the Lord would deliver them into their hand:
it may be that the Lord will work for us; a sign, as the Targum, a miracle, as indeed he did; and of which Jonathan was persuaded in his own mind, though he did not choose to express himself in a confident way; not knowing in what manner, and whether at this time the Lord would appear, and work salvation and deliverance; and yet had a strong impulse upon his mind it would be wrought, and therefore was encouraged to try this expedient:
for there is no restraint to the Lord to save by many or by few; he is not limited to numbers, and can easily work salvation by a few as by many. It is no difficult thing to him to save by few, nor can anything hinder him, let the difficulties be what they will, when he has determined to deliver his people.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
It is remarkable that the epithet “uncircumcised,” used as a term of reproach, is confined almost exclusively to the Philistines. (Compare 1 Samuel 17:26, 1 Samuel 17:36; Judges 14:3; Judges 15:18, etc.) This is probably an indication of the long oppression of the Israelites by the Philistines and of their frequent wars.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Samuel 14:6. Let us go over — Moved, doubtless, by a Divine impulse.
There is no restraint to the Lord — This is a fine sentiment; and where there is a promise of defense and support, the weakest, in the face of the strongest enemy, may rely on it with the utmost confidence.
