16. Saul’s watchmen at Gibeah in Benjamin could see the crowd ⌊in the Philistine camp⌋ dispersing in all directions.
17. “Look around,” Saul told the troops who were with him, “and see who has left ⌊our camp⌋.” They looked and found that Jonathan and his armorbearer were not there.
18. Then Saul said to Ahijah, “Bring the priestly ephod,” because Ahijah carried the ephod in front of Israel that day.
19. While Saul was talking to the priest, the confusion in the Philistine camp grew worse and worse. Then Saul said to the priest, “Remove your hand ⌊from the ephod⌋.”
20. Saul and all the troops with him assembled and went into battle. They found Philistine soldiers killing their fellow soldiers in wild confusion.
