1 Samuel 14:16-23 - Israel Defeats The Philistines

16 And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin saw. And behold, the people scattered and ran hither and thither. 17 Then said Saul unto the people that was with him, "Number, and see who is gone away from us." And when they had told: behold, Jonathan and his harness bearer were not there.

18 And then Saul said unto Ahijah, "Bring hither the ark of God." For the ark of God was at the time with the children of Israel. 19 And while Saul talked unto the priest, the people that were in the host of the Philistines ran more and more. And Saul said unto the priest, "Withdraw thine hand."

20 And Saul cried, and all the people that were with him, and went to battle. And behold every man's sword was against his fellow, with a mighty great slaughter. 21 Moreover, the Hebrews that were with the Philistines before that time, and were come with them in all parts of the host, joined themselves unto Israel which were with Saul and Jonathan. 22 And they also which had hid themselves in mount Ephraim, as soon as they heard how that the Philistines were fled, they followed after them in battle. 23 And so God helped Israel that day. And the battle continued until they came unto Bethaven.
