1 Samuel 13:2-4
Holman Christian Standard Bible
2 He chose 3,000 men from Israel for himself: 2,000 were with Saul at Michmash(A) and in Bethel’s hill country, and 1,000 were with Jonathan in Gibeah(B) of Benjamin. He sent the rest of the troops away, each to his own tent.
3 Jonathan attacked the Philistine garrison[a](C) that was in Geba,(D) and the Philistines heard about it. So Saul blew the ram’s horn throughout the land(E) saying, “Let the Hebrews hear!”[b](F) 4 And all Israel heard the news, “Saul has attacked the Philistine garrison,[c] and Israel is now repulsive to the Philistines.” Then the troops were summoned to join Saul at Gilgal.
