1 Samuel 14:9

7 His armor-bearer replied, “Do all that is in your heart. Go ahead; I am with you heart and soul.”

8 “Very well,” said Jonathan, “we will cross over toward these men and show ourselves to them.

If they say, ‘Wait until we come to you,’ then we will stay where we are and will not go up to them.

10 But if they say, ‘Come on up,’ then we will go up, because this will be our sign that the LORD has delivered them into our hands.”

11 So the two of them showed themselves to the outpost of the Philistines, who exclaimed, “Look, the Hebrews are coming out of the holes in which they were hiding!”
