BrLXX Καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι, καὶ εἶπον, οὗτοι οἱ θεοὶ ἥκασι πρὸς αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν παρεμβολήν. Οὐαὶ ἡμῖν, ἐξελοῦ ἡμᾶς Κύριε σήμερον, ὅτι οὐ γέγονε τοιαύτη ἐχθὲς καὶ τρίτην·

(Occurrence 0) they said … They said
(Some words not found in UHB: and=they_saw the,Philistines that/for/because/then/when said he/it_came ʼₑlhīmv to/towards the,camp and=they_said woe to/for=us that/for/because/then/when not she/it_was like,this yesterday before )
“they said to themselves … They said to each other” or “they said to each other … They said to each other.” The second clause clearly refers to what the Philistines said to each other. The first clause probably refers to what they thought, though it could also refer to what they said to each other. If possible, avoid stating who was spoken to.

The Philistines worshiped many gods, so they probably believed that one of those gods, or one whom they did not worship, had come into the camp. Another possible meaning is that they were speaking the proper name of the God of Israel: “Yahweh has come.” Because 4:8 speaks of “gods,” some translations read, “Gods have come,” that is, “It is gods who have come.”
