New Life Version
1 Samuel 13:4-6
New Life Version
4 All Israel heard the news that Saul had destroyed the place where the Philistine soldiers were. And they heard that Israel had become a hated thing to the Philistines. Then the people were called out to join Saul at Gilgal.
5 The Philistines gathered to fight against Israel, with 30,000 war-wagons, 6,000 horsemen, and people like the sand on the sea shore. They came and set up their tents at Michmash, east of Beth-aven. 6 The men of Israel saw that they were in trouble. The people were in a place of danger. So the people hid themselves in caves, bushes, hill-sides, graves and wells.

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)
