When Saul saw the Philistine army, he was terrified,
Voices of terror will scream in their ears, and robbers attack when they think they are safe.
All around them terror is waiting; it follows them at every step.
They are instantly destroyed; they go down to a horrible end.
The righteous get what they want, but the wicked will get what they fear most.
When word reached the king of Judah that the armies of Syria were already in the territory of Israel, he and all his people were so terrified that they trembled like trees shaking in the wind.
He turned pale and was so frightened that his knees began to shake.
The Philistine troops assembled and camped near the town of Shunem; Saul gathered the Israelites and camped at Mount Gilboa.
and so he asked the Lord what to do. But the Lord did not answer him at all, either by dreams or by the use of Urim and Thummim or by prophets.
