Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armor, Come, and let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised: it may be that Yahweh will work for us; for there is no restraint to Yahweh to save by many or by few.
"And they fell before Jonathan"  (1 Samuel 14:13).  The amazing success of this attack was due to "its utter surprise."[11]  Another similar historical victory achieved by scaling what was thought to be an impossible place of ascent is that of General James Wolfe who scaled the bluff along the St. Lawrence river below Quebec on the night of Sept. 13,1759, and on the following morning surprised and defeated the Marquis de Montcalm; and the continent of North America went over to the British![12]  However, in Jonathan's victory, the surprise was only the human side of it; there was also a timely earthquake  (1 Samuel 14:15) that completely finished all resistance by the Philistines.
