¹⁷ And raiders came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies; one company turned toward Ophrah to the land of Shual,^(A)

⁵ As they journeyed, a terror from God fell upon the cities all around them, so that no one pursued them.^(A)

²⁴ When you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, then be on the alert, for then the Lord has gone out before you to strike down the army of the Philistines.”^(A)
