the,multitude surging_back
The author is speaking of this multitude, meaning the Philistine army, as if it were a solid substance that was becoming liquid and flowing away. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the Philistine army was breaking up in confusion]

(Some words not found in UHB: and=they_saw the,watchmen of,Saul at,Gibeah Binyāmīn and=see/lo/see! the,multitude surging_back and=he/it_went and,here )
The author is using and went, even here as a common expression of his culture to mean that the Philistine soldiers were going in many different directions. Your language may have a comparable expression that you could use in your translation. You could also use plain language. Alternate translation: [and was going here and there] or [and was scattering in many directions]
