Verse 9 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.

werden sie dann sagen: Steht still, bis wir zu euch gelangen! so wollen wir an unserm Ort stehenbleiben und nicht zu ihnen hinaufgehen.
Si nos dijeren así: Esperad hasta que lleguemos a vosotros; entonces nos estaremos en nuestro lugar, y no subiremos a ellos.
Si nos dicen: “Quédense quietos hasta que lleguemos a ustedes”, nos quedaremos donde estamos y no subiremos hacia ellos.
S'ils nous disent: Arrêtez, jusqu'à ce que nous venions à vous! nous resterons en place, et nous ne monterons point vers eux.
Aspettate, finchè siamo giunti a voi, noi staremo fermi, e non saliremo a loro;
Se nos disserem assim: Parai até que cheguemos a vós; então ficaremos no nosso lugar, e não subiremos a eles.
他們若對我們這麼說:『站住,等我們到你們那裏去』,我們就站在原地,不上他們那裏去;
