Jonathan in Gibeah were here still, see Sa1 13:2 . and they came to the battle; to the field of battle, the place where the army of the Philistines had lain encamped: and, behold, every man's sword was against his fellow; taking one another for Hebrews, or treacherous and disaffected persons; so that, though the Israelites had neither swords nor spears, they needed none, for the Philistines destroyed one another with their own swords; and there was a very great discomfiture; noise, tumult, confusion, slaughter, and destruction.
