1 Samuel 17:1-3
1The Philistines assembled their armies for war. They assembled at Socoh, which is in Judah, and camped between Socoh and Azekah at Ephes Dammim.
2So Saul and the army of Israel assembled and camped in the Elah Valley. They formed a battle line to fight the Philistines.
3The Philistines were stationed on a hill on one side, and the Israelites were stationed on a hill on the other side. There was a ravine between the two of them.
