1 Samuel 13:2-7

2SaulH7586 choseH977 him threeH7969 thousandH505 menH376 of IsraelH3478, whereof two thousandH505 wereH1961 with SaulH7586 in Michmash and in the mount of Beth-el, and a thousandH505 wereH1961 with JonathanH3129 in GibeahH1390 of BenjaminH1144: and the restH3499 of the peopleH5971 he sentH7971 every manH376 to his tentH168. 3And JonathanH3129 smote the garrisonH5333 of the PhilistinesH6430 that was in GebaH1387; and the PhilistinesH6430 heardH8085 of it. And SaulH7586 blew the trumpetH7782 throughout all the landH776, sayingH559, Let the HebrewsH5680 hearH8085. 4And all IsraelH3478 heardH8085 sayH559 that SaulH7586 had smitten the garrisonH5333 of the PhilistinesH6430, and alsoH1571 that IsraelH3478 was had in abomination with the PhilistinesH6430. And the peopleH5971 were gathered together after SaulH7586 to GilgalH1537.

5And the PhilistinesH6430 assembled themselves together to fightH3898 with IsraelH3478, thirtyH7970 thousandH505 chariotsH7393, and sixH8337 thousandH505 horsemenH6571, and peopleH5971 as the sandH2344 which is on the sea-shore in multitudeH7230: and they cameH5927 up, and encampedH2583 in Michmash, eastward of Beth-aven. 6When the menH376 of IsraelH3478 sawH7200 that they were in a strait (for the peopleH5971 were distressed), then the peopleH5971 did hideH2244 themselves in cavesH4631, and in thickets, and in rocksH5553, and in coverts, and in pitsH953. 7Now some of the HebrewsH5680 had gone over the JordanH3383 to the landH776 of GadH1410 and GileadH1568; but as for SaulH7586, he was yetH5750 in GilgalH1537, and all the peopleH5971 followed him tremblingH2729.
