stylus

Judges 6:36, Judges 6:40, Genesis 24:13, Genesis 24:14, Judges 6:36

stylus

Genesis 24:14, Genesis 24:14, 1 Samuel 10:7, Judges 7:11, 1 Samuel 10:7

14That first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armor bearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were half a furrow's length in an acre of land.

stylus

15There was a trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people; the garrison, and the spoilers, they also trembled; and the earth quaked: so there was an exceeding great trembling.

stylus

stylus

2 Chronicles 20:23, Judges 7:22, 2 Chronicles 20:23, Judges 7:22, 1 Samuel 14:16

21Now the Hebrews who were with the Philistines as before, and who went up with them into the camp, from all around, even they also turned to be with the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.

stylus

1 Samuel 29:4, 1 Samuel 29:4, Judges 7:23, Judges 7:23

stylus

Joshua 6:26, Joshua 6:26, Romans 10:2, Romans 10:2, Judges 11:30

25All the people came into the forest; and there was honey on the ground.

Matthew 3:4, Matthew 3:5, Exodus 3:8, Numbers 13:27, Deuteronomy 9:28

26When the people had come to the forest, behold, the honey dropped: but no man put his hand to his mouth; for the people feared the oath.

stylus

Ecclesiastes 9:2, Ecclesiastes 9:2

27But Jonathan did not hear when his father commanded the people with the oath: therefore he put forth the end of the rod who was in his hand, and dipped it in the honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes were enlightened.

stylus

1 Samuel 14:29, 1 Samuel 30:12, 1 Samuel 14:43, 1 Samuel 14:29, 1 Samuel 30:12

stylus

1 Samuel 14:24, 1 Samuel 14:43, 1 Samuel 14:24, 1 Samuel 14:43

stylus

1 Kings 18:18, 1 Kings 18:18, Joshua 7:25, Joshua 7:25

stylus

1 Samuel 14:44, 2 Samuel 12:5, 1 Samuel 14:44, 2 Samuel 12:5, 1 Samuel 14:24

stylus
