BrLXXΚαὶ ἐγενήθη ἔκστασις ἐν τῇ παρεμβολῇ, καὶ ἐν ἀγρῷ· καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαός οἱ ἐν Μεσσὰβ, καὶ οἱ διαφθείροντες ἐξέστησαν, καὶ αὐτοὶ οὐκ ἤθελον ποιεῖν· καὶ ἐθάμβησεν ἡ γῆ, καὶ ἐγενήθη ἔκστασις παρὰ Κυρίου.

BrTrAnd there was dismay in the camp, and in the field; and all the people in Messab, and the spoilers were amazed; and they would not act, and the land was terror-struck, and there was dismay from the Lord.

ULTAnd there was trembling in the camp in the field and among all of the people. The garrison and the destroyer, even they trembled. And the earth quaked, and it became a trembling of God.

USTThis made the other Philistine soldiers in that camp panic. When they ran back to the main camp at Micmash and described what happened, the soldiers in the main camp also panicked. When those soldiers told soldiers in other camps and the groups of soldiers who were making raids, they also panicked. Then God caused the ground to shake, and all of them became even more afraid.

BSB  § Then panic struck the Philistines in the camp, in the field, and among all the people. Even those in the outposts and raiding parties trembled. Indeed, the earth quaked, and panic spread from God.[fn]


14:15 Or and a terrible panic spread


OEBThere was panic in the camp, in the field, and among all the people. The garrison, and even the raiders trembled and the earth quaked so that it produced a great panic.

WEBBEThere was a trembling in the camp, in the field, and amongst all the people; the garrison and the raiders also trembled; and the earth quaked, so there was an exceedingly great trembling.

WMBB (Same as above)

NETThen fear overwhelmed those who were in the camp, those who were in the field, all the army in the garrison, and the raiding bands. They trembled and the ground shook. This fear was caused by God.

LSVand there is a trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people, the station and the destroyers have trembled—even they, and the earth shakes, and it becomes a trembling of God.

FBVThen Philistines went into a panic, in the camp, in the field, and throughout their army. Even those in the outposts and the groups of raiders became terrified. The earth shook—this was a panic from God.

T4TThen all the other Philistia soldiers, the ones in the camp and the ones who had been attacking the Israeli towns, ones who were out in the field much closer, panicked. Then God caused the ground to shake, and they all became terrified/very afraid.

LEBThen there was terror[fn] in the camp, in the open field, and among all the army of the garrison. Even the raiders[fn] trembled. The earth shook, and it became a very great panic.[fn]


14:15 Or “panic”

14:15 Literally “destroyers”

14:15 Literally “like the panic/terror of God”; some interpreters understand this to be a panic caused by God, while others understand the expression merely as a superlative (“a very great panic”)

BBEAnd there was great fear in the tents and in the field and among all the men of the armed force, and the attackers were shaking with fear; even the earth was moved with a great shaking and there was a fear as from God.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

14:15 panic broke out: This parallel with the Gideon story depicts Jonathan as a judge-like figure (cp. Judg 7:19-22). God had not anointed or expressly gifted Jonathan to be leader, yet God used him to rescue his people.
• raiding parties: See study note on 1 Sam 13:17-18.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

בַ⁠מַּחֲנֶ֤ה בַ⁠שָּׂדֶה֙ וּ⁠בְ⁠כָל־הָ⁠עָ֔ם

in/on/at/with,camp in/on/at/with,field and=on/over=all the,people

The author assumes that readers will understand that the camp in the field means the Philistine outpost that Jonathan attacked, while all of the people means the soldiers of the main Philistine army at Michmash. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [not only in the detachment that was guarding the pass but also among all of the soldiers in the main Philistine army at Michmash]

Note 2 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

הַ⁠מַּצָּב֙ וְ⁠הַ⁠מַּשְׁחִ֔ית

the,garrison and,the,raiders

Since the author says that even these groups trembled in addition to the detachment and the main army, he is likely referring to other garrisons the Philistines had set up and to the raiding bands he described in [13:17](../13/17.md). Since he is referring to multiple groups in each case, it may be more natural in your language to use plural forms. Alternate translation: [The garrisons and the destroyers] or [The soldiers in the other outposts that the Philistines had set up and in the raiding bands that they were sending out]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

לְ⁠חֶרְדַּ֥ת אֱלֹהִֽים

as,panic_of ʼElohīm

The expression a trembling of God could be: (1) a common expression of his culture that the author is using that described something as very great by saying it belonging to God. Alternate translation: [a very great trembling] (2) an indication that God caused this trembling. Alternate translation: [a trembling caused by God]
