1 Samuel 14 · Grade 2

Jonathan and His Helper

Name Date

Read the Story

Jonathan was Saul's son. He had a young man who carried his armor. Jonathan said God can save with many or with few. They went out to the Philistine camp.

They climbed up the rocks on their hands and feet. God helped them. The ground shook. The Philistines were afraid and ran away.

Saul had said no one could eat until evening. Jonathan did not hear it. He ate a little honey. Saul was angry. But the people would not let Jonathan be hurt. He had worked with God that day.

Memory Verse

Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armor, “Come! Let’s go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised. It may be that Yahweh will work for us, for there is no restraint on Yahweh to save by many or by few.”

1 Samuel 14:6 (WEB)
