In the campaign that followed
against the foes that were threatening
the nation. Jonathan. the son of SAUL
played such a daring and heroic part
that he became very popular with the
people and indirectly strengthened the
house of Saul with the nation. The
success of Saul's armies over the enc
mics of Israel seemed to justify the
establishment of the monarchy and
the choice of Saul as king.
The Philistines answered the note of
revolution that Jonathan sounded in
the war of independence that he
inaugurated when he made his sue
cessful attack upon the Philistine gar
rison at Geba that had been stationed
there to enforce the collection of trib-
ute by an invasion that was more
crushing than ever.
The Philistines were enraged at the
presumption and daring of the people,
who without arms and without any
worker in metals among them to
manufacture implements of warfare
had attempted to throw off the yoke
of dependence and bondage. The
$4,000 volunteers had been reduced
to "a standing army of 1000, that
dpindled upon the foes return to a
loyal 500. who trembled at the sight of
the reinforcements that the Philistines
put into the field after their crushing
defeat at Geba. where Jonathan show red
the bold initiative. rapid movement and
practical strategy that gave him
front rank among the warriors of
Israel
The cause Of the change in the for
tunes of the nation was due to the
disobediepce Of Saul. who showed his
lack OF faith when he assumed the
functions Of tine priesthood snd lost
for his family the throne of Israel
The king who had succeeded before
saw his forces flee hey ond the Jordan

tine army, occupying an almost i'm
presnable position. the soldiers from

Jonathan saved his fathers kingdom
by daring and courageous exploit
that rightly has been considered one
of the most dramatic scenes in all his
