1 Samuel 13:4-6
Jubilee Bible 2000
4 And all Israel heard it said that Saul had smitten a garrison of the Philistines and also that Israel had become a stench unto the Philistines. And the people were called together after Saul to Gilgal.
5 Then the Philistines gathered themselves together to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots and six thousand horsemen and people as the sand which is on the sea shore in multitude; and they came up and pitched camp in Michmash, eastward from Bethaven.
6 When the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait (for the people were distressed), then the people hid themselves in caves and in thickets and in rocks and in high places and in pits.

1 Samuel 13:4-6
New International Version
4 So all Israel heard the news: “Saul has attacked the Philistine outpost, and now Israel has become obnoxious(A) to the Philistines.” And the people were summoned to join Saul at Gilgal.
5 The Philistines assembled(B) to fight Israel, with three thousand[a] chariots, six thousand charioteers, and soldiers as numerous as the sand(C) on the seashore. They went up and camped at Mikmash,(D) east of Beth Aven.(E) 6 When the Israelites saw that their situation was critical and that their army was hard pressed, they hid(F) in caves and thickets, among the rocks, and in pits and cisterns.(G)
