War with the Philistines

13 Saul was ^[a]thirty years old when he began to reign, and ^[b]he reigned ^[c]forty-two years over Israel.

² Saul chose for himself 3,000 men of Israel; of whom 2,000 were with him in Michmash and in the hill country of Bethel, while 1,000 were with Jonathan at Gibeah of Benjamin. But he sent the rest of the people away, each one to his own tent.
