1 Samuel 13:5-7
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

5 The Philistines also assembled for battle against Israel, with thirty thousand chariots,[a] six thousand horsemen, and foot soldiers as numerous as the sand on the seashore.(A) They came up and encamped in Michmash, east of Beth-aven.(B) 6 When the soldiers saw they were in danger because the army was hardpressed, they hid themselves in caves, thickets, rocks, caverns, and cisterns. 7 Other Hebrews crossed the Jordan into the land of Gad and Gilead. Saul, however, held out in Gilgal, all his army trembling in fear behind him.[b]
