rsv@1Samuel:14:15 @ And there was a panic in the camp, in the field, and among all the people; the garrison and even the raiders trembled; the earth quaked; and it became a very great panic.
rsv@1Samuel:14:16 @ And the watchmen of Saul in Gib'e-ah of Benjamin looked; and behold, the multitude was surging hither and thither.
rsv@1Samuel:14:17 @ Then Saul said to the people who were with him, "Number and see who has gone from us." And when they had numbered, behold, Jonathan and his armor-bearer were not there.
rsv@1Samuel:14:18 @ And Saul said to Ahi'jah, "Bring hither the ark of God." For the ark of God went at that time with the people of Israel.
rsv@1Samuel:14:19 @ And while Saul was talking to the priest, the tumult in the camp of the Philistines increased more and more; and Saul said to the priest, "Withdraw your hand."
rsv@1Samuel:14:20 @ Then Saul and all the people who were with him rallied and went into the battle; and behold, every man's sword was against his fellow, and there was very great confusion.
rsv@1Samuel:14:21 @ Now the Hebrews who had been with the Philistines before that time and who had gone up with them into the camp, even they also turned to be with the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.

rsv@1Samuel:14:23 @ So the LORD delivered Israel that day; and the battle passed beyond Beth-a'ven.
