1 Samuel 13:4-8

4And all Israel heard 1the news that Saul had attacked the garrison of the Philistines, and also that Israel 2had become repulsive to the Philistines. Then the people were summoned 3to Saul at Gilgal.

5Now the Philistines assembled to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots and six thousand horsemen, and 4people like the sand which is on the seashore in abundance; and they came up and camped in Michmash, east of 5Beth-aven. 6When the men of Israel saw that they were in trouble (for the people were hard-pressed), then 6the 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 7Gad and Gilead. But as for Saul, he was still in Gilgal, and all the people followed him, trembling.

8Now 8he waited for seven days, until the appointed time that Samuel had set, but Samuel did not come to Gilgal; and the people were scattering from him.
