1 Samuel 13:4-6

International Standard Version

⁴ All Israel heard the report,^[a] “Saul has attacked the Philistine garrison^[b] and Israel has also become repulsive to the Philistines.” Then the people were summoned to Saul at Gilgal.

⁵ The Philistines assembled to fight against Israel with 30,000 chariots, 6,000 horsemen, and people as numerous as the sand on the seashore. And they advanced and camped in Michmash, east of Beth-aven. ⁶ When the men of Israel saw that they were in distress (for the people were in difficult circumstances), the people hid themselves in caves, in thickets, in crags, in tombs, and in pits.
