1 Samuel 13:2-7

2Now Saul chose for himself three thousand men of Israel, of whom two thousand were with Saul in 1Michmash and in the hill country of Bethel, while a thousand were with Jonathan at 2Gibeah of Benjamin. But he sent the rest of the people away, each to his tent. 3And Jonathan attacked 3the garrison of the Philistines that was in 4Geba, and the Philistines heard about it. Then Saul 5blew the trumpet throughout the land, saying, “Let the Hebrews hear!” 4And all Israel heard 6the news that Saul had attacked the garrison of the Philistines, and also that Israel 7had become repulsive to the Philistines. Then the people were summoned 8to Saul at Gilgal.

5Now the Philistines assembled to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots and six thousand horsemen, and 9people like the sand which is on the seashore in abundance; and they came up and camped in Michmash, east of 10Beth-aven. 6When the men of Israel saw that they were in trouble (for the people were hard-pressed), then 11the people kept themselves hidden in caves, in crevices, in cliffs, in crypts, and in pits. 7And some of the Hebrews crossed the Jordan into the land of 12Gad and Gilead. But as for Saul, he was still in Gilgal, and all the people followed him, trembling.
