પલિસ્તીઓ ઇઝરાયલ સામે લડવાને એકત્ર થયા; તેઓના ત્રીસ હજાર રથો, એ રથને ચલાવી શકે એવા છ હજાર ઘોડેસવારો તથા સમુદ્રની રેતી જેવી વિશાળ સંખ્યામાં લોકોએ બેથ-આવેનની પૂર્વ તરફ મિખ્માશમાં છાવણી કરી.

4All Israel heard that Saul had struck the garrison of the Philistines, and also that Israel was considered an abomination to the Philistines. The people were gathered together after Saul to Gilgal.

5The Philistines assembled themselves together to fight with Israel: thirty thousand chariots, six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the seashore in multitude. They came up and encamped in Michmash, eastward of Beth Aven.

6When the men of Israel saw that they were in trouble (for the people were distressed), then the people hid themselves in caves, in thickets, in rocks, in tombs, and in pits.
