  • 1 Sam 13:1-5 : 1 Saul was [about] a year into his reign when he became king, and he ruled over Israel for two years. 2 Saul chose 3,000 men from Israel for himself. 2,000 were with Saul at Michmash and in the hills of Bethel, and 1,000 were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin. The rest of the people he sent back to their homes. 3 Jonathan attacked the Philistine garrison at Geba, and the Philistines heard about it. Then Saul blew the ram's horn throughout the land, saying, "Let the Hebrews hear!" 4 All Israel heard the news: "Saul has attacked the Philistine garrison, and now Israel has become offensive to the Philistines." So the people were summoned to follow Saul at Gilgal. 5 The Philistines assembled to fight Israel with 30,000 chariots, 6,000 horsemen, and troops as numerous as the sand on the seashore. They came up and camped at Michmash, east of Beth Aven.
  • 1 Sam 14:6-9 : 6 Jonathan said to the young man who carried his armor, 'Come, let us cross over to the garrison of these uncircumcised men. Perhaps the Lord will act on our behalf, for nothing can hinder the Lord from saving, whether by many or by few.' 7 His armor-bearer replied, 'Do everything you have in mind. Go ahead; I am with you heart and soul.' 8 Jonathan said, 'Look, we will cross over to the men and let them see us.' 9 If they say to us, 'Wait there until we come to you,' we will stay in our place and not go up to them. 10 But if they say, 'Come up to us,' we will go up, for the Lord has handed them over to us. That will be our sign. 11 So both of them showed themselves to the Philistine garrison, and the Philistines said, 'Look, the Hebrews are coming out of the holes they were hiding in!' 12 The men of the garrison called to Jonathan and his armor-bearer, 'Come up to us, and we will teach you a lesson!' So Jonathan said to his armor-bearer, 'Climb up after me, for the Lord has given them into the hand of Israel.' 13 Jonathan climbed up on his hands and feet, with his armor-bearer behind him. The Philistines fell before Jonathan, and his armor-bearer followed and finished them off. 14 In that first attack, Jonathan and his armor-bearer struck down about twenty men in an area of about half an acre of land. 15 Then panic struck the whole Philistine camp, those in the field, the outposts, and the raiding parties, and the ground trembled. It was a panic sent by God. 16 Saul's lookouts at Gibeah of Benjamin saw the Philistine army melting away in all directions.

  • 1 Sam 17:49-53 : 49 David reached into his bag, took out a stone, slung it, and struck the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell facedown to the ground. 50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone. Without a sword in his hand, he struck down the Philistine and killed him. 51 Then David ran and stood over the Philistine. He took the Philistine’s sword, drew it from its sheath, and killed him by cutting off his head. When the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they turned and ran. 52 The men of Israel and Judah rose up, shouted, and pursued the Philistines all the way to the entrance of the valley and to the gates of Ekron. The dead Philistines lay scattered along the road to Shaaraim, as far as Gath and Ekron. 53 Then the Israelites returned from pursuing the Philistines and plundered their camps.

The archers found him, and he was badly wounded by them. 4 Then Saul said to his armor-bearer, 'Draw your sword and pierce me with it, or these uncircumcised men will come and abuse me.' But his armor-bearer was too afraid and refused. So Saul took his sword and fell on it. 5 When his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he also fell on his sword and died with him. 6 So Saul, his three sons, his armor-bearer, and all his men died together that same day. 7 When the Israelites on the other side of the valley and the Jordan saw that Israel's army had fled and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned their cities and fled. Then the Philistines came and occupied them.
