1 Samuel 14:16-18

Living Bible

¹⁶ Saul’s lookouts in Gibeah saw a strange sight—the vast army of the Philistines began to melt away in all directions.

¹⁷ “Find out who isn’t here,” Saul ordered. And when they had checked, they found that Jonathan and his bodyguard were gone. ¹⁸ “Bring the Ark of God,” Saul shouted to Ahijah. (For the Ark was among the people of Israel at that time.)
