"And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people that were present with them, abode in Geba of Benjamin: but the Philistines encamped in Michmash." — 1 Samuel 13:16 (ASV)
And Saul, and Jonathan his son
Who were now joined to their men, on Saul's coming to Gibeah:
and the people that were present with them ;
the six hundred men before numbered: abode in Gibeah of Benjamin; being perhaps a strong fortified place, not choosing to go forth to meet the army of the Philistines, so vastly superior to them:
but the Philistines encamped at Michmash ;
the old quarters of Saul before he went to Gilgal, (1 Samuel 13:2) .
