Alternatively, your language may have another way of saying this. See how you translated the term striking in 4:10.

כְּ⁠בַ⁠חֲצִ֥י מַעֲנָ֖ה צֶ֥מֶד שָׂדֶֽה

(Some words not found in UHB: and=it_became the,slaughter (the),first which/who killed Yōnātān/(Yəhōnātān/(Jonathan)) and,the_bearer_of his_armor(s)_of,his about,twenty (a)_man about,in,half_of furrow acre_of land )

The author is expressing a distance in terms of his culture. A yoke of a field means a field that a pair of oxen could plow in a day (about an acre or 0.4 hectares). This furrow would be one side of that (about 210 feet or 65 meters), so half a furrow would mean about 100 feet or 30 meters. Jonathan and his armor-bearer penetrated this far into the Philistine camp, killing any soldiers who tried to stop them. Alternate translation: [over a distance of about 30 meters] or [over a distance of about 100 feet]
