And all Israel heard say that Saul had smitten a garrison of the Philistines, and that Israel also was had in abomination with the Philistines. And the people were called together after Saul to Gilgal.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 4 is found in chapter 13 of 1 Samuel. The conflict with the Philistines intensifies and Jonathan attacks a garrison, provoking a military response. The people begin hiding in fear of Philistine superiority. The narrative creates a setting in which trust in God will be tested. Saul gathers the people at Gilgal, but Samuel’s delay creates tension. The issue is not merely military: the king must demonstrate whether he recognizes that his authority is limited by prophetic instruction and by the commands he has received.
