And between the passages, by which Jonathan sought to go over unto the Philistines' garrison, there was a sharp rock on the one side, and a sharp rock on the other side: and the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.

Verse 4 is found in chapter 14 of 1 Samuel. Jonathan decides to approach the Philistine garrison accompanied only by his armor-bearer. His confidence is expressed in the statement that nothing prevents the Lord from saving by many or by few. He proposes a sign, not as an attempt to control God, but as a way of discerning whether they should advance. The episode presents active faith that recognizes divine sovereignty without falling into passivity. Jonathan acts courageously while explicitly leaving the outcome in the Lord’s hands.

Es waren aber an dem Wege, da Jonathan versuchte hinüberzugehen zu der Philister Wache, zwei spitze Felsen, einer diesseits, der andere jenseits; der eine hieß Bozez, der andere Sene.
Y entre los pasos por donde Jonathán procuraba pasar a la guarnición de los Filisteos, había un peñasco agudo de la una parte, y otro de la otra parte; el uno se llamaba Boses y el otro Sene:
A ambos lados del paso por donde Jonatán intentaba cruzar hacia la guarnición filistea había dos peñascos escarpados. Uno se llamaba Boses y el otro Sene.
Entre les passages par lesquels Jonathan cherchait à arriver au poste des Philistins, il y avait une dent de rocher d'un côté et une dent de rocher de l'autre côté, l'une portant le nom de Botsets et l'autre celui de Séné.
Ora, fra i passi, per li quali Gionatan cercava di passare alla guernigione de’ Filistei, v’era una punta di rupe di qua, e un’altra di là; l’una si chiamava Boses, e l’altra Sene.
E entre os desfiladeiros pelos quais Jônatas procurava passar à guarnição dos filisteus, deste lado havia uma penha aguda, e do outro lado uma penha aguda; e era o nome de uma Bozez, e o nome da outra Sené.
