16 Sha’uls lookouts in Gibeah (in Benyamite territory) saw to their surprise that their opponents were starting to scatter in every direction. 17 “Count our people and see who’s missing,” Sha’ul commanded, so they called the roll and wow, it was Yonatan and his servant who weren’t accounted for. 18 “Bring the sacred chest here,” Sha’ul told Ahiyah the priest, because the Israelis had control of it again at that time. 19 But even as Sha’ul was speaking to him, the confusion in the Philistine camp was continually increasing, and Sha’ul told him, “Oh, don’t worry about it.” 20 Then he called his warriors together and they went forward to battle. To their surprise, the Philistines were fighting each other in total confusion. 21 Now before that time, some Hebrews had joined the Philistine camp, but now they switched alliance back to Israel with Sha’ul and Yonatan. 22 Also, there had been some Israeli deserters who’d hidden in the Efraimite hill country heard that the Philistines were fleeing, and so they too also chased and attacked them. 23 So Yahweh saved Israel that day, and the fighting went as far as Beyt-Aven.
