  • 1 Sam 14:6-9 : 6 Jonathan said to the young man who carried his armor, 'Come, let us cross over to the garrison of these uncircumcised men. Perhaps the Lord will act on our behalf, for nothing can hinder the Lord from saving, whether by many or by few.' 7 His armor-bearer replied, 'Do everything you have in mind. Go ahead; I am with you heart and soul.' 8 Jonathan said, 'Look, we will cross over to the men and let them see us.' 9 If they say to us, 'Wait there until we come to you,' we will stay in our place and not go up to them. 10 But if they say, 'Come up to us,' we will go up, for the Lord has handed them over to us. That will be our sign. 11 So both of them showed themselves to the Philistine garrison, and the Philistines said, 'Look, the Hebrews are coming out of the holes they were hiding in!' 12 The men of the garrison called to Jonathan and his armor-bearer, 'Come up to us, and we will teach you a lesson!' So Jonathan said to his armor-bearer, 'Climb up after me, for the Lord has given them into the hand of Israel.' 13 Jonathan climbed up on his hands and feet, with his armor-bearer behind him. The Philistines fell before Jonathan, and his armor-bearer followed and finished them off. 14 In that first attack, Jonathan and his armor-bearer struck down about twenty men in an area of about half an acre of land. 15 Then panic struck the whole Philistine camp, those in the field, the outposts, and the raiding parties, and the ground trembled. It was a panic sent by God. 16 Saul's lookouts at Gibeah of Benjamin saw the Philistine army melting away in all directions.

I will strike you down and cut off your head. I will give the corpses of the Philistines’ army today to the birds of the sky and the wild animals of the earth. Then the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel.' 47 'And all those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the LORD saves; for the battle belongs to the LORD, and He will give you into our hands.' 48 When the Philistine arose and came forward to meet David, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet the Philistine. 49 David reached into his bag, took out a stone, slung it, and struck the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell facedown to the ground. 50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone. Without a sword in his hand, he struck down the Philistine and killed him. 51 Then David ran and stood over the Philistine. He took the Philistine’s sword, drew it from its sheath, and killed him by cutting off his head. When the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they turned and ran. 52 The men of Israel and Judah rose up, shouted, and pursued the Philistines all the way to the entrance of the valley and to the gates of Ekron. The dead Philistines lay scattered along the road to Shaaraim, as far as Gath and Ekron.
