And the people of Beth-shemesh were cutting their grain in the valley, and lifting up their eyes they saw the ark and were full of joy when they saw it.

And another went in the direction of Beth-horon: and another went by the hill looking down on the valley of Zeboiim, in the direction of the waste land.

And Saul came to the town of Amalek, and took up his position in the valley secretly.

And Saul and the men of Israel came together and took up their position in the valley of Elah, and put their forces in order against the Philistines.

The Philistines were stationed on the mountain on one side and Israel on the mountain on the other side: and there was a valley between them.

Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel were in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.

And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you put to death in the valley of Elah, is here folded in a cloth at the back of the ephod: take that, if you will, for there is no other sword here. And David said, there is no other sword like that; give it to me.

And when the men of Israel across the valley and on the other side of Jordan saw that the army of Israel was in flight and that Saul and his sons were dead, they came out of their towns and went in flight; and the Philistines came and took them for themselves.
