1 Samuel 13:4-6
Holman Christian Standard Bible
4 And all Israel heard the news, “Saul has attacked the Philistine garrison,[a] and Israel is now repulsive to the Philistines.” Then the troops were summoned to join Saul at Gilgal.
5 The Philistines also gathered to fight against Israel: 3,000[b] chariots, 6,000 horsemen, and troops as numerous as the sand on the seashore.(A) They went up and camped at Michmash, east of Beth-aven.[c](B)
6 The men of Israel saw that they were in trouble because the troops were in a difficult situation. They hid in caves, thickets, among rocks, and in holes and cisterns.(C)
