"And he sent spies into their camp, and they came back and brought him word that they designed to come upon them in the night."
In context
24Now Jonathan heard that the generals of Demetrius were come again with a greater army than before to fight against him.
25So he went out from Jerusalem, and met them in the land of Amath: for he gave them no time to enter into his country.
26And he sent spies into their camp, and they came back and brought him word that they designed to come upon them in the night.
27And when the sun was set, Jonathan commanded his men to watch, and to be in arms all night long ready to fight, and he set sentinels round about the camp.
28And the enemies heard that Jonathan and his men were ready for battle, and they were struck with fear, and dread in their heart: and they kindled fires in their camp.
