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. 6 When the men of Israel saw that they were in a difficult situation and that the enemy was pressing them hard, they hid themselves in caves, thickets, rocks, pits, and cisterns. 7 Some Hebrews crossed the Jordan into the land of Gad and Gilead.
