1 Samuel 14:16-18

New International Reader's Version

¹⁶ Saul’s lookouts at Gibeah in the land of Benjamin saw what was happening. They saw the Philistine army melting away in all directions. ¹⁷ Then Saul spoke to the men with him. He said, “Bring the troops together. See who has left our camp.” When they did, they discovered that Jonathan and the young man carrying his armor weren’t there.

¹⁸ Saul said to Ahijah the priest, “Bring the ark of God.” At that time it was with the Israelites.
