1 Kingdoms (1 Samuel) 14:13Meaning & Commentary from the Church Fathers

Jonathan, fueled by a courageous strategy and accompanied by just one companion, infiltrated the enemy camp and defeated approximately twenty adversaries, instilling fear throughout the entire army. As a result, the enemy soldiers fled at the prompting of God, disregarding their orders and breaking formation in their desperate attempt to escape. Observing this, Saul rallied his troops and, in pursuit of the retreating forces, achieved triumph.
