The multitude melts away, and the LORD saves Israel that day

허다한 블레셋 사람이 무너져 흩어지고 여호와께서 그 날에 이스라엘을 구원하심

1 Samuel 14:16–23: the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin look; and behold, the multitude melts away and scatters. Then Saul says to the people who were with him, “Count now, and see who is missing from us.” When they have counted, behold, Jonathan and his armor bearer are not there. Saul says to Ahijah, “Bring God’s ark here.” The text adds, “For God’s ark was with the children of Israel at that time.” While Saul talks to the priest, the tumult that was in the camp of the Philistines goes on and increases; and Saul says to the priest, “Withdraw your hand!” Saul and all the people who were with him are gathered together, and come to the battle; and behold, they are all striking each other with their swords in very great confusion. Now the Hebrews who were with the Philistines before and who went up with them into the camp from all around, even they also turn to be with the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan. Likewise all the men of Israel who had hidden themselves in the hill country of Ephraim, when they hear that the Philistines fled, even they also follow hard after them in the battle. So the LORD saves Israel that day; and the battle passes over by Beth Aven. The Korean Revised Version names the Philistines (블레셋 사람) at 14:16, where the WEB has “the multitude”, and at 14:20 as the ones striking each other with the sword.
