'Fighting' in the Bible
There was intense fighting against the Philistines during Saul's entire reign, and whenever Saul discovered a strong or valiant warrior, he would enlist him for service.
Saul, your brothers, and all the men of Israel are in the valley of Elah fighting with the Philistines."
Someone told David, "Look, the Philistines are fighting at Keilah and are plundering the threshing floors."
Please forgive the offense of your servant. For the LORD will certainly make a strong dynasty for your majesty, for your majesty is fighting the LORD's battles. May evil not be found in you for all of your life.
The heaviest fighting was directed toward Saul, and when the bowmen who were shooting located Saul, he was severely wounded by them.
