16 And the watchmen of Saul, who were at Gibeah of Benjamin, looked out, and behold, a multitude was thrown down and dispersed, this way and that.
17 And Saul said to the people who were with him, 'Inquire and see who has gone out from us.' And when they had inquired, it was found that Jonathan and his armor bearer were not present.
18 And Saul said to Ahijah, 'Bring the ark of the God.' (For the ark of God was, in that day, with the sons of Israel in that place.)
19 And while Saul spoke to the priest, there arose a great tumult in the camp of the Philistines. And it was increasing, little by little, and it was being heard more clearly. And Saul said to the priest, 'Withdraw your hand.'
20 Then Saul, and all the people who were with him, cried out together, and they went to the place of the conflict. And behold, each one's sword had been turned against his neighbor, and there was a very great slaughter.
