The Philistines encamp in Michmash, and the people hide themselves in caves and thickets

블레셋 사람이 믹마스에 진 치고 이스라엘 사람들이 굴과 수풀에 숨음

1 Samuel 13:5–7: the Philistines assemble themselves together to fight with Israel: thirty thousand chariots, six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the seashore in multitude. They come up and encamp in Michmash, eastward of Beth Aven. When the men of Israel see that they are in trouble (for the people were distressed), then the people hide themselves in caves, in thickets, in rocks, in tombs, and in pits. Now some of the Hebrews had gone over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead; but as for Saul, he is yet in Gilgal, and all the people follow him trembling. At 13:6 the Korean Revised Version reads 은밀한 곳 (hidden places) where WEB reads “tombs”.
