15. And Samuel went up from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people that were left with him, [only] about 600.
16. Saul and Jonathan his son and the people with them remained in Gibeah of Benjamin, but the Philistines encamped at Michmash.
17. And raiders came out of the Philistine camp in three companies; one company turned toward Ophrah, to the land of Shual,
18. Another turned toward Beth-horon, and another toward the border overlooking the Valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness.
19. Now there was no metal worker to be found throughout all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make swords or spears.
