14 In that first assault Jonathan and his armor-bearer struck down about 20 men in a half-acre field.
15 Terror spread through the Philistine camp and the open fields to all the troops. Even the garrison and the raiding parties were terrified. The earth shook, and terror spread from God.
16 When Saul’s watchmen in Gibeah of Benjamin looked, they saw the panicking troops scattering in every direction.
17 So Saul said to the troops with him, “Call the roll and determine who has left us.” They called the roll and saw that Jonathan and his armor-bearer were gone.
18 Saul told Ahijah, “Bring the ark of God,” for it was with the Israelites at that time.
19 While Saul spoke to the priest, the panic in the Philistine camp increased in intensity. So Saul said to the priest, “Stop what you’re doing.”
20 Saul and all the troops with him assembled and marched to the battle, and there, the Philistines were fighting against each other in great confusion!
