Answered in 1 source

Jonathan represents faith and trust in God, acting as a type of Christ who secures victory for His people.

In 1 Samuel 14, Jonathan is seen as a figure of faith who courageously engages the enemy, setting a stark contrast to his father Saul's hesitance. The chapter portrays Jonathan as a man who leans on the Lord and exemplifies what it means to trust in God despite overwhelming odds. His actions foreshadow Christ, who brings salvation to His people by defeating their enemies, echoing the truth of the gospel that salvation comes not through human effort but through divine intervention.
