1 Samuel 13:2-4

Expanded Bible

² Saul chose three thousand men from Israel. Two thousand men stayed with him at Micmash in the ·mountains [hill country] of Bethel, and one thousand men stayed with Jonathan at Gibeah in Benjamin. Saul sent the other men in the army back ·home [^Lto their tents].

³ Jonathan ·attacked [^Lstruck] the Philistine ·camp [garrison] in Geba, and the other Philistines heard about it. Saul said, “Let the Hebrews hear what happened.” So he told the men to blow ·trumpets [ram’s horns] through all the land of Israel. ⁴ All the Israelites heard the news. The men said, “Saul has ·defeated [struck] the Philistine camp [garrison; ^CSaul receives credit for Jonathan’s victory]. Now ·the Philistines will really hate us [^LIsrael will stink among the Philistines]!” Then the Israelites were called to join Saul at Gilgal.
