13:3 Geba was located between Jonathan’s forces at Gibeah and Saul’s forces at Micmash. A deep gorge separated Geba and Micmash (see 13:23; 14:5).
• The ram’s horn (Hebrew shofar) was used to raise a signal—e.g., to muster an army (Judg 3:27). For other uses, see Lev 25:9; 2 Sam 6:15; 15:10; 18:16; 20:1; Hos 5:8; Joel 2:15.
• Non-Israelites often used the term Hebrews disdainfully (see 1 Sam 14:11; 29:3; see also Gen 39:14; 43:32). Saul might have used it to strike a nerve and arouse the people’s pride in their identity.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וַיַּ֣ךְ יוֹנָתָ֗ן
and,defeated Yōnātān/(Jonathan)
See the discussion of the term “struck” in the Introduction to 1 Samuel, and see how you translated the term in [4:2](../04/02.md). Since the author describes in [13:16](../13/16.md) how Saul and Jonathan soon occupied this strategic position in Geba themselves, it should be understood that Jonathan destroyed the Philistine garrison there. Alternate translation: [And Jonathan destroyed]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
וַיַּ֣ךְ יוֹנָתָ֗ן
and,defeated Yōnātān/(Jonathan)
The author is using Jonathan to represent him and the soldiers under his command. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [And Jonathan and his soldiers destroyed]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
פְּלִשְׁתִּים֙ & וַֽיִּשְׁמְע֖וּ
Pelishtim & and=they_heard
The author is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [and the Philistines heard about this attack]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / events
וְשָׁאוּל֩ תָּקַ֨ע בַּשּׁוֹפָ֤ר בְּכָל־הָאָ֨רֶץ֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר יִשְׁמְע֖וּ הָעִבְרִֽים
and,Saul blew in/on/at/with,trumpet in=all the=earth/land to=say they_will_understand the,Hebrews
The author is describing one event before describing another event that preceded it. In your translation, you may wish to relate these events in the order in which they happened. Alternate translation: [And Saul said, “Let the Hebrews hear!” and he blew upon a shofar in all of the land]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
וְשָׁאוּל֩ תָּקַ֨ע בַּשּׁוֹפָ֤ר
and,Saul blew in/on/at/with,trumpet
The author is using Saul’s name to represent him and the messengers he sent to bring news to the other Israelites. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [And Saul had messengers blow shofars]
Note 6 topic: translate-symaction
וְשָׁאוּל֩ תָּקַ֨ע בַּשּׁוֹפָ֤ר
and,Saul blew in/on/at/with,trumpet
This was a symbolic action that indicated that the messengers were bringing important and urgent news that the Israelites should listen and respond to. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain the significance of this action. Alternate translation: [And Saul had messengers blow shofars to indicate that they had urgent news]
Note 7 topic: writing-quotations
לֵאמֹ֔ר
to=say
See whether you chose to represent the term saying in [4:21](../04/21.md), and if so, how you translated it.

See the discussion of this name in the Introduction to this chapter.
