He took a team of oxen, cut them in pieces, and sent them throughout the territory of Israel by messengers who said, “This is what will be done to the ox of anyone who doesn’t march behind Saul and Samuel.” As a result, the terror of the LORD fell on the people, and they went out united.
“If you fear the LORD, worship and obey him, and if you don’t rebel against the LORD’s command, then both you and the king who reigns over you will follow the LORD your God.

Saul, however, was still at Gilgal, and all his troops were gripped with fear.
Then Samuel went[fn] from Gilgal to Gibeah in Benjamin. Saul registered the troops who were with him, about six hundred men.
The men of the garrison called to Jonathan and his armor-bearer. “Come on up, and we’ll teach you a lesson! ” they said.
“Follow me,” Jonathan told his armor-bearer, “for the LORD has handed them over to Israel.”
Jonathan climbed up using his hands and feet, with his armor-bearer behind him. Jonathan cut them down, and his armor-bearer followed and finished them off.
When all the Israelite men who had been hiding in the hill country of Ephraim heard that the Philistines were fleeing, they also joined Saul and Jonathan in the battle.
Saul said, “Let’s go down after the Philistines tonight and plunder them until morning. Don’t let even one remain! ”
“Do whatever you want,” the troops replied.
But the priest said, “Let’s approach God here.”
So Saul inquired of God, “Should I go after the Philistines? Will you hand them over to Israel? ” But God did not answer him that day.
“I went after it, struck it down, and rescued the lamb from its mouth. If it reared up against me, I would grab it by its fur,[fn] strike it down, and kill it.

However, one of the sons of Ahimelech son of Ahitub escaped. His name was Abiathar, and he fled to David.
and Saul and his men went to look for him. When David was told about it, he went down to the rock and stayed in the Wilderness of Maon. Saul heard of this and pursued David there.
So Saul broke off his pursuit of David and went to engage the Philistines. Therefore, that place was named the Rock of Separation.
After that, David got up, went out of the cave, and called to Saul, “My lord the king! ” When Saul looked behind him, David knelt low with his face to the ground and paid homage.
“Who has the king of Israel come after? What are you chasing after? A dead dog? A single flea?
“Therefore swear to me by the LORD that you will not cut off my descendants or wipe out my name from my father’s family.”
He said to his men, “All of you, put on your swords! ” So each man put on his sword, and David also put on his sword. About four hundred men followed David while two hundred stayed with the supplies.

Saul camped beside the road at the hill of Hachilah opposite Jeshimon. David was living in the wilderness and discovered Saul had come there after him.
Then he continued, “Why is my lord pursuing his servant? What have I done? What crime have I committed?
and David asked the LORD, “Should I pursue these raiders? Will I overtake them? ”
The LORD replied to him, “Pursue them, for you will certainly overtake them and rescue the people.”
