1 Samuel 13:5-7

New King James Version

⁵ Then the Philistines gathered together to fight with Israel, ^[a]thirty thousand chariots and six thousand horsemen, and people ^(A)as the sand which is on the seashore in multitude. And they came up and encamped in Michmash, to the east of ^(B)Beth Aven. ⁶ When the men of Israel saw that they were in danger (for the people were distressed), then the people ^(C)hid in caves, in thickets, in rocks, in holes, and in pits. ⁷ And some of the Hebrews crossed over the Jordan to the ^(D)land of Gad and Gilead.

As for Saul, he was still in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.
