Holy Scripture

1 Samuel 14:10

A church father on this verse
“It is the certain and undoubted judgment of the holy Church that chosen preachers must consider not only what, how much, and when they speak, but also to whom they speak. Hence the Lord too, concealing the word from the knowledge of certain people, forbids the disciples, saying: "Do not cast your pearls before swine"…”
Gregory the Dialogist, 7th c. — Commentary on 1 Kings, Book 5, Chapter 4

8And Jonathan said, Behold, we will go over to the men, and will come down suddenly upon them.

9If they should say thus to us, Stand aloof there until we shall send you word; then we will stand still by ourselves, and will not go up against them.

— 1 Samuel 14:10 —

11And they both went in to Messab of the Philistines; and the Philistines said, Behold, the Hebrews come forth out of their caves, where they had hidden themselves.

12And the men of Messab answered Jonathan and his armor bearer, and said, Come up to us, and we will show you a thing: and Jonathan said to his armor bearer, Come up after me, for the Lord has delivered them into the hands of Israel.
