We even have some of your countrymen who are now in our army.” “If we come up there, it will be only to fight and kill you,” Jonathan said. The Philistine laughed. “Well, then, come on up. It’s plenty boring up here. Maybe you can liven things up, small as you are.” Jonathan looked at Ziba, who then nodded. “We’ll be right up,” Jonathan shouted back.””
